R320 suddendly died at stop sign
Our R320 suddendly died when we stopped and started to procede. restarted with check engine light on, ran at very low rpm and lots of shaking. died again in about 10 seconds. restarted with same results. rolled the car back and to the side of the road (5 minutes at the most). restsrted and seemed to run ok. drove home. mileage dropped from 20+ to 19. Took it to local dealer. they cannot find the problem. code indicated fuel problem. opened TAC ticket but they won't let local dealer change out any parts. they have had the car since monday AM, they tell me it is running fine. Any ideas?? or has this happended to anyone else.

Thanks, I do ocassionaly run a dose of diesel conditioner (i'll have to look up the name of it) through the car. the dealer just changed the fuel filter 2 weeks ago. I am going to post what the dealer found. i have the car back and they didn't replace anything except the fuel for which i was charged $75.00
Got the car back. they didn't change out any parts. fuel filter was changed 2 weeks ago. the drove it a lot.
Here is a synopsis of the invoice:
ran 541011 & 541012 short tests, perform 139 WM08, ran 075701 fuel pump delivery 139 wm08
28411 NO PROBLEM FOUND. connected SDS and ran short test found code 2017-001 rail pressure monitoring via volume control valve. rail pressure to low. SDS advised to replace quanity control valve. tested amperage of low pressure tank fuel pump.running between 7 and 9.5 amps. spec is 9-14 amp. opended TAC case. advised to continue monitoring fuel pump. all ok at this time.
just got back fro driving it 45 miles, ran ok. computer showed average of 25.9 MPG.
