CLK500 engine trouble any help appreciated
i have recently been having a lot of trouble with my car after changing the spark plugs a couple of weeks ago.
i replaced them with the bosch +2 @ 78,XXX miles which were all i had available at the time. it ran fine for about a week until one day after a short 2 mile trip it decided not to turn on. it cranked and turned on after waiting about 15 minutes. i had this problem about every other day until about 3 days ago where the car has turned off on me while driving. it happened to me twice again today. its been a nightmare and will be changing my plugs out this weekend to NKG iridiums or the original bosch 7422's. i remember reading another thread where someone had the same problem but cant find the thread anymore. has anybody had this problem before or can maybe give me some information that might help. i would greatly appreciate it.
also if anybody would have an ignition wiring diagram so i can go back and double check even though i doubt that is the problem.
thank you,
Danny

i'll will be getting it checked tomorrow with the SDS to find out what my problem is. i hope its something as small and easy as the crankshaft position sensor. thank you very much for the response. would anybody else have an idea to what my problem might be?
