Clk430 won't start.

Help, My 99 Clk430 won’t start, it turns but it won’t fire.
Tune up about a year ago new filters, gas and air , spark plugs, etc.
107,000 miles. I need some help.

Thanks.

When did this happen? First thing in the morning or after you'd driven it around for awhile?

Had the same problem that you have about a year ago. On my car it was the MAF sensor. Had it replaced.....unfortunately did not know about this forum at the time and could of done the work myself.

I had a problem with mine where it would crank for a second and stop, it was a low battery causing it. You could have a bad crank sensor.

Good deal.

Damn these CPSs fail even when the car is cold? That's a new one on me.

Is either your alternator or battery. I'm leaning more to be a battery issue sinse it has happen to me, i end up buying a new battery and it fix the problem.
