Shouldn't stop your car from starting cause the sensor takes a few mins to warm up and start working propper.If you do want to check it with a volt meter this is what you need to look out for:
A reading no higher than 0.60V and no lower than 0.30V means she's knackered.

Did you check the battery since you don't drive it regularly also is it fitted with an immobiliser?

Is there fuel to your injectors? Try and removing them when trying to start i would suggest and see is there vapour? Cause if she's sparking and there's no faults.....Fuel ?
