2005 Merc CLK 320 Convertable
CLK 320 2005

At times or once a week we will drive the car a short distance, shut off the vehicle when one tries to start the vehicle it only cranks but will not start. After a few hours starts no problem.

What is the diagnosis?

Probably your crank position sensor.

Yes, except you can buy a genuine MB one for like $45 from places like Pelican parts. It's not that hard to change if you don't have fat arms.

Just did this to a 2005 CLK 320 Cabriolet.
Went Bosch from AMZN for like $28.
It is a minor PITA...

NO LONGER ACTIVE
I have begun to avoid buying parts at amazon. There have been many reports of Bosch MAF sensors and crankshaft position sensors bought from Amazon being flaky. I suspect they are fakes from China. I suggest buying from a reputable dealer like AutohausAZ, RMEuropean, or Pelican.

I just replaced a CPS that I got from Amazon. It was bad out of the box. It is frustrating because you doubt your diagnosis.
