CEL: Possible CPS Failure?
Gents, the ML acted up tonight and my wife mentioned that it took a while to get it started when she was leaving a store earlier today. On our way out to dinner and made a quick stop and the car didn't immediately start. Had to wait 5 minutes before it would finally start. Sounds like the classic case of a CEL on it's way out to me. I don't have a code reader though I am assuming it is the CPS. If I replace the CPS, will the CEL go away? Appreciate the advice in advance!

ML430 Wont Start (sometimes)
I m having an intermittent issue where the truck wont start. This is the second time. The first time I thought I left the lights on because i let it sit for an hour or two and it started back up and drove fine. This is the second time and now I am leaning toward the cps (crank position sensor). It also cut off during driving one day on the highway (but started back up at 40+ while driving). I told my dealer friend and he signaled the cps as well. I also have the mystery lights ets/bas/abs don't know if its related.

Bad Battery Terminals
Seems like it didnt start becuase of bad battery terminals .
I was going to swap the battery, but before i started i said to myself let me try this one more time. hooked the battery in and its started. battery terminals were out of place. dealer priced both at $150. uugnh!
