I think that my key's battery comming low now because some times I try to switch on my car at the last four days and some times it switches on and some times the key reach to on without starting engine and some times it starts and stop suddenly. So do you think this is because of the key battery or another items?

Your key doesn't have a battery inside of it. It has a resister pellet that the sensor in the ignition switch reads. If you are having a problem reading the key, the problem likely lies in the ignition lock and sensor. It will require a factory scan tool to be able to diagnose that system correctly.
