Stalling issue
I have a 2003 E320 with 119K miles and it's experiencing occasional stalls.

Details:

1. Had fuel tank replaced a few weeks ago. Up to that point I never stalled.
2. Within 5 miles of the reserve fuel light coming on, I stopped to get gas. When trying to restart the car, it took about 7 tries before it started. . Motor would turn but just wouldn't start.
3. Occasionally when coming to a stop, the motor stalls but will come on immediately when I try and start it.

so, any ideas?

Those sensors run in 100-few bucks and take about 10 minutes to replace.
Must be expensive labor.

Lets see the Vid!!
Depending on engine size I agree, 10 minutes is shallow. Especially if it's hott!
