weird start issue

Every now and then the car will take longer to crank over, it starts up the first time but the cranks are longer and when that happen the idles goes up to 2300rpm then drops back to normal after 10-20seconds slowly. been notiing this for the past 2 weeks its like every other day. Im due for spark plugs(98k right now) soon can that be the cause? or is it telling me something major going to break down SOON?

I believe its the CRANK POSITION SENSOR or the CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR!

One of those are messing up with ur start up!

So, buy it both at Ebay and replace them!

Good Luck!

Why Ebay, where there are two very reputable online parts dealer that will sell OEM or quality parts with a warranty, wholesale priced, and most of the time, with free shipping.

www.mercedesshop.com (ask for Phil )
