Starts some times

I have a 1999 clk430, on occasion it starts with No problem. The starter sounds strong and there is premium gas in the tank. When I attempt to start it the starter engages but it does not turn over, can this be the fuel pump or filter or
starter. Is it some safety feature. I also have codes of P0150, p0156, p0161 and p0455 And I wonder of they have anything to do with Jesabelle not starting please help 917-626-2929 central jersey

Is it a simple replacement, the crank sensor and where does it go.
I'm new to the awesome MB world


Also you noted you went to the dealer instead of autozone, is there a difference in the crank sensors?
