Crankshaft position sensor failing?
How can you tell when the Crankshaft position sensor is failing?
I know it is a common problem and I don't want to get stranded. Lately noticed that when I start the car when it is warm the car sputters a bit upon start. It seems the sputter is longer when the car has been driven fairly hard and I pop in to a store and come back and restart the car shortly after parking it.
I've got 128k miles on my C55. I'm not sure if the sensor has ever been done.

Yeah, I just threw one in today. Not the hardest thing to do, but still took me an hour due to the location.
I did not have any codes pending, but as you said...better safe then sorry.
