And its STILL cutting out
ok folks, heres one for ya.. 92 - S320 
I have changed crank sensor, fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs, checked fuel relay, plug leads, injectors, etc etc. Having had this car for several months now I'm losing it with Mercedes vehicles, Car starts drives for around a mile or so and coughs and splutters like you've ran out of fuel, engine dies, go to restart it and it'll turn over until the cows come home but will it start.... NO, good spark, injectors electrically ok, Leave it for approx 30 - 45 mins turn it over and it fires up like nothing was ever the problem and normally drive several hundred miles trouble free again until yes you've guessed it next day or week you drive a mile and life repeats itself. Any help please !!! before I buy a box of matches
