2015 Ml350 help
Idk where to start with this one. Um. Cel cam on and ran a bunch of codes P0024, P054c, P0301, P0351, P2200Had changed the intake manifold gaskets as 2 were broken, changed a vacuum line in the back driver side, and the two driver side camshaft position sensors and all codes went away except, Poo24 and P2200. Changed magnetic sensors and car ran for a while let it sit. And now it wont start…any suggestions or help. If i have to change the timing chain I don't think I'd like that especially at only barely hitting 64k miles

LOW MILEAGE PITA

The way this went from bad to a "no start" is strange...
Is it cranking?
Do you see gas pressure?
Is crank speed near adequate?
No worries about timing chains at 65kMi. Simply be sure to replace your favorite oil at 5kMi... Annual schedule is not enough.

can you translate your OBD codes into useful descriptions?

I changed the oil with Liquimoly bout a month ago and still I am getting codes CEL and definitely misfires which I think my next move will be plugs and coils. I can't believe at such low miles and hardly driven this would happen.

all fixed up
I put a battery pack on and boom. Strong start.

These chassis are quite sensitive to voltage variations. Try to keep your batteries well charged, don't use "engine stop/start" (ECO).
Ignition parts must be kept reliable. Mandatory tune-up is every 50kMi.

Has the battery been replaced? It does seem like the battery may be part of the issue. I have noticed in the 5 different Benz's within our family, that 7 years seems to be the approx timeframe when the battery starts giving trouble.
As CaliBenzDriver mentioned, these vehicles are sensitive to voltage variations.

it is simple....
annual service on normal duty
Severe duty is a shorter schedule.
City driving burns oil into sludge
highway cools engine well.
5kMi is still a smart choice even best oils.
1Yr oil schedule okay based on use.
