The weather got colder and starting the car in the morning has been a drag. I bought a new battery and the car started without any problems but after about a month the problem came back.

The car cranks but doesnt catch on, it shuts off. I have to gas the car to turn it on. This occurs only in the morning or after a long period of not driving. During the day after i have driven the car it starts just fine.

The battery was checked out and it was good.

Hey guys I read a lot of other forums and came across the problem probably being related to the CPS which is called the reference sensor in the MB.

Heres a great website that explains how to DIY
