'08 GL320 STALLING OR WILL NOT START

Looking for anybody with simular expierences.

'08 320 w/50k, stopped for a pit stop after 6 hrs on turnpike and truck would not start but 30 mins later started with Chech Engine Light on (which eventually shut off). After another long stint on the x way (8 hrs) & another 5 days of typical driving no problems. MB service replaced the Crank Position Sensor.

After a new CPS and 750 miles, again 6 hrs on freeway the GL started running rough and just stopped running while on the freeway. Started after 30minutes, no Check Engine Light this time.

Currently at MB and they just cant find anything wrong.

Any simular expierences here? Thanks

Replacement of crank position sensor was a recall in any event.

It would appear your service department needs to get your car warmed up to determine if there's a problem.

Some in-tank fuel pump problems are occurring. http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w164...rpressure.html
