C320 Engine Cranks but will not start...

Mercedes C320 sport wagon: The starter cranks but the engine won't start. Plenty of gas and the battery is about a year old. Any ideas?

Fuel, Air, Spark... one of those 3 is missing.

Check fuel pressure via the port at the end of the fuel rail.
As suggested above, CKP is the usual suspect.

1. Get the fuel pump checked
2. Use fuel injector cleaner. My C320 has a late starting problem due to a faulty injector

CPS - crankshaft position sensor. Do that first. It will never start if it does not know when it is at TDC.
