Unhappy WTF

Yes I am a newbie. Both 2 the site and the AMG family. Just got my ride Saturday and 2 day she wants 2 screw up. I turned the ignition and all it did was wind and keep on winding. Seemed 2 b hot when i opened the hood. Then cooled down shortly and cranked rite up. At this time I noticed the check engine light was on. Did the same thing when I got home...winding and cooled down and started. Any prior wisdom out there? This seems 2 b a great site. Just thought I'd ask

Thanx so much 4 your help guys. It's nice 2 know there r people not just out 4 themselves. I will do my best 2 "pay it 4ward". The problem with that is, I'm a big dummy where this stuff is concerned. I'm just a poor guy with a Benz. trying 2 figure out how 2 replace the CPS. I saw a youtube thread on how to replace it on a different model. kinda scared of screwing something else up n the process. Anyways, thanx again.
