CLK430 starting problem

After starting car and running for about an hour the cars just stalls and will not start. But if it sits for a few hours it will start right away. What could this be. Help

If it cranks but doesn't turn over, its most likely the cps. It fails especially with warm weather. Easy DIY.

It's a cheap and easy to replace. I replaced mine this weekend as preventative maintenance. It took less than 5 min.
