Help C55 not start

Hi, my C55 not start, introduce the key, the engine turns but not run.

wait a moment, try again and RUN, check engine is ON.

when I stop the engine, it sounds an alarm to remove the key.

Any idea?

Thank

Be sure to get OEM or Bosch only, don't take aftermarket, soo risky..

Everthing is ok NOW, but it was not easy, 4 hours to remove the sensor from below, from above was impossible, no space.

After getting the exhaust system had access to the sensor.

Finally scan fails to remove

Thank to all

Holy crap you removed the entire exhaust to get up and install the sensor?! Man, I commend you for doing all that. I got mine from the top with a long extension around the back ignition coil on driver's side, just unbolted it to move out of the way. If you remove the MAF you can get it from the top.

Good to see it's done though!
