Stalled at stoplight
Hey everybody!
Fun thing just happened. I exited the freeway after driving ~80mph for ~9-10 miles and sat at the light for probably 5-10 seconds. When I put my foot on the accelerator, the car started going, barely, and died in the middle of the intersection. Thankfully, it restarted back up and seemed to drive fine. Temperature was about ~100C and after driving a few miles at 45mph cooled down to 90C.
I'm going to hook it up to DAS to see if there are any codes, but no indicators on the dash
I remember reading about this a while ago, but my search skills must suck because I didn't find anything. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
edit: No Codes except that my rear interior bulb is out

Kompressor
motor could be the vapor lock issue in the heat.Did it start right up again or did it have to cool down?
CPS is a possible but usually will only restart upon waiting 10-20 minutes

easy diy on benzworld.org w210 section diy area.
$50 to rule it out from being the cause can't hurt

Curious....do you still have your original battery? If you do, see my post at https://mbworld.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=234108.
After reading several posts, I'm convinced that a weak battery can cause various failures in our computer & sensor rich cars.

I had a stall on the truck like 2 years ago, the car felt like it was completely neutral. forgot what it was...but the car was still "on" and it was just a engine stall? or was it like if the car was neutral!?

New Battery last, Nov?
The engine did stall and the dash lit up like a christmas tree. With my pulley, could the A/F be off? Could it be an oxygen sensor or strange MAF readings? I would assume misfires and rich/lean warnings would pop in in the ECU though
