'04 CLK55 having problems starting?

I tried to start my car today, after I turned the key and let go it got stuck in a cycle of trying to start. After about 4 seconds of cycling I turned the key off, waited about 15 seconds and tried again. The same thing happened.
I put in neutral and pushed it out of the way of traffic while my girlfriend steered. I thought maybe shutting the doors and locking it would reset something. I did that and tried starting it again. It acted like it was going to start cycling but after a couple of seconds it started. I drove it home and have not tried to start it since.
The check engine light is on. Anyone know what the problem might be?
I just had to have the transmission replaced a few months ago. It only has 78,000 miles and I've kept up with the service maintenance through the dealership. I'm beginning to be disappointed with the quality of this car.

You can DIY. Get parts from parts dot com. Not too hard.
