hi guys,

Im new to this forum. I have a 99 c43 amg. Lately when im driving and the car heats up it stalls. After about half hour it starts back fine. Any help would be great.

thanks,

EGR valve.

Its stuck open. Probably needs to be r&r'd .

valve would be a constant condition and show a different symptom and throw a coe on your obd2 scanner.
On the M113 engines,the symptom you describe ,no check engine light,car at operating temp and it stalls or you stop to go into a store and it won't start till it cools down for 20-30 minutes is usually the crankshaft position sensor.

classic cps complaint and common on the 99
you want the crankshaft sensor not the camshaft sensor that has a different problem associated with it.

Near the rear of the (US) driver's side cylinder head. One piece of advice; if you don't have magnetized torx sockets, put a little bearing grease on it (or magnetize the socket).

If this doesn't make any sense, it will after you've dropped the bolt for the third time.
