It is common for some sensors to fail by becoming heat-sensitive, then they work again after they cool down for an hour. This can be worse when you stop a hot engine, then try to restart it a few minutes later, as in after filling with gas. The heat from the engine normally gets blown away from some sensors while you're driving, but when stopped, that heat migrates to the sensors and causes them to fail.

The place to start is by having the diagnostic fault codes read and recorded. The people at many auto parts stores will do that for you for free.
