Warm Starting problem 1996 C280

My C280 runs well. When cold - it starts up instantly. But after it warms up, it becomes harder to start. After a drive, then left for 15 - 30 minutes, I have to crank a good few seconds and it starts, but runs weakly for a few seconds.

Mechanic says CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. Could this sensor work great cold and then not work well warm?

any ideas appreciated
