However, the newly replaced camshaft sensor is bad.
I installed the old sensors and the car ran fine. (For now)
I'll be replacing it, as it likes to work, or not based on temperature
I am wondering if the precision if the old sensors have decreased, thus allowing any timing fluctuations to become unnoticed.

The ECU firmware adapts to these sensors. It adds salt to correct data of the measured timing.
You can get away with replacing cam sensors without Xentry but you really want it to do complete job including reset adaptations.

I did in fact reset the adaptations multiple times and it still wouldn't run properly. I've ordered the sensor and I expect it to arrive upcoming week.

Mercedes-Benz original sensors or aftermarket premium sensors? I've bought Delphi ones and it is shaking like a potato sorting machine.
Even after resetting the adaptations multiple times
Someone working at Mercedes told me that these cars do not always like non-Mercedes sensors.
The original sensor came with this logo, can you identify the brand?
Also, the sensor didn't install flush with the valve cover, is this an issue? I can't tighten it up any further

nop
Have you tried searching for the part number to see what description comes up with the many brands suppliers.
I've reinstalled the sensor and it's more flush with the cylinder head. Engine idles some what good, but cylinder 7 and 12 both miss when giving some gas during cold idle.
It did this before I think, but it would usually go away
I have MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 7,8,9. Sometime 9s goes away, I replaced spark plugs and boots, MAF,MAP.
car will run good for 6 minutes until I come to a complete stop, misfire will pop up.
So right now I have code for cylinder 7,8, o2 bank 2 sensor 1 02 bank 1 sensor 1! Says heat circuit Issue.
Do I need to buy voltage transformer or coil packs?
BY the way I got 7,8,9 codes and the o2 sensor literally a week after I did a muffler delete. Kept the cats stock of course. Please let me know WHAT I GOTTA DO!!

You might want to try replacing your fuel filter - check this thread, very similar problems mentioned and they resolved with a new fuel filter.
But if you do need to diagnose ignition issues, v12icpack.com will rent you a voltage transformer and/or coil packs for testing. Information is about halfway down their home page. You can also send in your voltage transformer to be tested for $25.
They've also just announced availability of their own redesigned/improved voltage transformer which mounts remotely instead of on top of the engine. The stock top of engine location subjects the voltage transformer to a lot of unnecessary heat, shortening its life.

Thanks Brucewane! Just ordered a Boost Box from Clark. I will provide a basic review once I receive it but knowing his reputation I expect zero issues. My current transformer is fine, but I know it's day of reckoning is inevitable.
Mine just died. It has a manufacture date of mid December 2008. It was a replacement for the original. I've ordered Clark's redesigned unit from v12icpack.com to replace this one.
One of the capacitors took a crap. Everything else is visually okay.

You can replace them with some better ones and it should last you a long time,you can try replacing the caps your MOSFETs might be ok and you will have a spare unit. Also I would desolder that capasitor so the fluid won't eat your PSB if you plan to fix it up
I've experienced plenty of cold solder joint failures in my lifetime, but have never seen it accompanied with burning. I haven't measured anything yet, but it looks (and smells!) to me like the cap failed. This stuff smells to high heaven. Sorta fishy mixed with the "magic smoke". This must've been on the edge for a bit because this happened at a few seconds after start up. Sounded great then almost immediately the engine tone changed and the check engine light illuminated. I suppose it was running on just 6 cylinders.
My plan is to source and replace ALL of the caps and if that fixes it, keep it as a spare. Although I shouldn't need it since I just ordered one of Clark's Boost Box replacement VTs.
