Owned a 2002 ml500, vehicle shutoff when comming to a stop, restart then repeat at the next stop. Change fuel filter before this problem, change crankshaft position sensor after this problem, nothing changed. NEED SOME ADVISE !!

Is it throwing a check engine light? Could be idle control valve, sounds like it has trouble idling while at a stop.

Vander, ML's do not have an Idle Control Valve.

I thought that shortly after I made that post.

Shuts off while idling, curious as to what it is.

Usually this problem is attributed to a faulty CKP (Crankshaft Position Sensor) which he already replaced. But he has not responded to your question of whether the CEL is on or not.

Regardless, a code (P0335) will be stored. Possibly he purchased a knock-off sensor which will be useless.

Hey guys, sorry for not responding earlier on that shutoff problems. At the time of the shutoff problems no CEL was on. However, I change the trottle cable today, take the car for a spin and the CEL is on but the suv is not shutting off anymore. I wonder if the trottle cable was the problems. The dealer did a diagnostic about 2 months back and stated the trottle cable broken and need replacement, but I went on road trips from Houston to Chicago and also to Florida and no problems. When I change the trottle cable I do not see anything broken, but then I am not an expert. I will check out the code on the CEL in the coming days. The dealer also recommend to change the filter pump also, I might just go ahead and change pumps anyway. I need some help on the easy way to change the fuel pump. Thanks for the respond guys !!
