2008 GL450 Starts then dies.
I have been in the market for a new (to me) Mercedes again. Ive had a W163 ML, a W203 C55, and a old 190E.
Locally a 2008 GL450 just popped up on martketplace with 100k for $3000. Pictures look decent, no air suspension sagging which I know can be a problem with these.
The problem the seller states "Starts and dies then have to let sit four hour and then it will start and die." I know on the M112/M113 motos this usually meant a crankshaft sensor issue.
I am well versed with wrenching and have a scan tool.
Any idea what this might be before I go look at it?
Thanks,
