Dear All, I need some advise. I have E280 1997 (W210) and at the bigining of january occured a problem. After starting engine everytning looks normal I start driving and after some time engine just stops. I am not able to start it again just after but when I wait about 30 min it starts without any problem but again after some time it stops again - what could be a problem? I think it could have something to do with the temp.
Thanks a lot in advance

 

This is a common problem on the V6 engine ,it is caused by a faulty crankshaft position sensor,it is #5 in this diagram;http://www.detali.ru/cat/oem_mb2.asp...SGR=075&SGN=04
; and is relatively cheap and simple to change.See this recent thread;https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...72#post1952072

If I will install a brand new one CPS will I have to initiate it after instaling, I heard it should but how to do it if so?
Thanks in advance

 

I have replaced the CPS - everything works. Thanks a lot for Your suggestions!

 

im also encounter this problem with my w210 E230 (1996). but the engine can easily start just after shut off. most probably happen when i stop at traffic lights. could this be CPS problem too?
