1999 C230 not starting
Hey guys, Im a w124 guy. my cousin picked up a 99 C230 supercharged the other day. It was running perfect, his dad took it out and put regular gas in it. 
The next day it wouldn't start, it will crank but it won't catch. Can it be from the regular gas that was put into it (some kind of sensor that prevents it from starting) or what? I need some help here.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Mass air sensor
even if unplugged the car would start.Rule that out.
Besides you would have a cel on.
Charge it up fully with a charger.
Don't step on the gas while cranking over.Check that the fuel cap is on correctly.
keep them posted
