Help! C280 problems. Wont Start!
Hey guys,
Was wondering if anyone could help me. I am having a little trouble with my 2000 C280. Started about a month ago. Was driving to work , stopped at a stop light and the car just shut down. Turned the key, car started and I drove to work. Didnt think anything of it.
Then yesterday car did the samething. It turned off and i started it back up.Now for the fun part. Later in the day yesterday the car wouldnt start up. Just turned over.( was a cold start) I let it set, came back a hour later and it started right up. Drove for about 2 mile, car turned off in the middle of the road. Wouldnt start back up, just turned over. I pushed it off the side of the road, let it set for a bit and it started right up. I drove home and havent moved it sence. Anyone have any ideas of what it might be?

symptoms of crankshaft position sensor.Car stalls you wait it starts,car is warm you try to start it won't for 15-30 minutes and then it does.Usually does not display a code.

if you diy diy is on benzworld.org w210 section or mercedesshop.com diy section.
you do it about 70 bucks,the dealer does it several hundred plus possible diagnostics.
good flashlight is needed to see where it is on the bell housing on top of the trans look down there and you will see it.
