After several months of intermittent "Check Engine Electronics" messages, I had my service tech look at it. He confirmed the same fault codes as provided earlier by Autozone (see early post this thread for the fault codes). He also said this definately meant the Mass Air Sensor was bad.
So I finally bought a new sensor at my dealer, less 10% discount for being a MBCA member. The final cost including tax was $290. I installed it myself and it really took only about 5 minutes. This is a very simple installation for anyone to perform. I then took the car to Autozone and had the codes reset.
The engine seems to run a bit more smootly at idle and coming to a stop. I'll post again on this thread if this didn't cure the dreaded Check Engine Electronics message.
For those of you that don't know what a Mass Air Sensor looks like, I've attached a picture of my original sensor.
