Hi,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I have priced the three sensors and I think I can replace them myself without too much trouble and without spending too much money.
I will start with the CKP sensor and then follow with the BARO and the Oxigen sensor (you are refering to the O2 sensor right? I’ve never seen it being called the HEATED Oxigen sensor, but I assume it is the same thing). Hopefully that will fix the problem.

If it comes to replacing the computer, are you talking about the ECU or the TCU?, I think this model has the ECU and the TCU together in the same space, but they are separate as I have seen both of them for sale on ebay.

I have also seen on the forums that the TCU may have some resistors or capacitors failed, which I think I can replace (I’m pretty good at soldering electronics!). If the three replacement of the sensors does not correct the problem, I will inspect the TCU and ECU for possible resistor and capacitors that may have failed.
If I do end up replacing the TCU or the ECU, does it need to be programmed to my car’s VIN? or can I just replace it with a part with the exact same part number from ebay or a junk yard?

If it involves the dealer programming the new/or used unit, that will likely involve several hundred dollars which I a not sure I am willing to spend. The car moves (and it cools-important in Houston 🙂 ) which are my requirements for transportation, but if I have to spend $1500 on it I might as well just drive it as is until it dies and goes to the junk yard…

Thanks for your help!
Alfredo.
