07 c230 sport wont start

My wife drove the car home from work the other night and all was fine. Got in it the next day to go to work and it wont start. I thought maybe it was lack of fuel because the idiot light was on, so I put 4gls in the tank but it still wont start. When I try to start, all the engine will do is crank without catching. Could it be the fuel pump? or the crankshaft position sensor? I have checked the battery, fuses, and all are good.

Thanks for any help that you may provide.

CPS likely.

Check fuel pressure on the front rail Schrader valve while cranking. s/b > 3.8 bar or 55psi. If low it's fuel pump or clogged fuel filter.

Good luck!

Upgrade fuse #52 from 15A to 20A,... or maybe they already fixed that issue for 2007,... anyways,... check make sure #52 is 20A

07 C230 Fuel pump problem

Thank you for the info and the help. After performing some more tests, I determined that it was indeed the fuel pump and replaced it and she started right up. Thank you again for your input.
