Crankshaft Position sensor? Not sure if the e300 had one but mine went bad and the motor would die with no warning.

sensor spacer
Something strange happen the car is running without problem so far. This is what I did while analyzing how to remove the sensor. I noticed fuel on top of the filter, my mistake was I forgot to change the small o ring that holds the filter. after replaced the o ring the car been running with no problem. I hope the cause is the air in the fuel.I will observe for awhile and will go ahead and change the sensor for peace of mind.
Thanks again

Yes I did side by side they look identical both are made by Bosch of Germany. I drive around few miles it seems runs good. I have no idea about the spacer. I will call autohausAZ to find out about spacer.
