Sporatic car will not start issue

Need help on this one please!! At times when I go to start my 2000 S500 she will not turn over.sounds like it is going to start for about 3 seconds and then shuts off. After usually several minutes, the car will start. Also she stalls at times and when I go to start it this problem occurs but this is not what happens all the time. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated Thanks

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
So it cranks

but does not fire?
Happen when the engine is warm? Like when you try to start it after going into a store for a few minutes?
Stalls at lights? Stalls coming to a stop?
Tell us more
If all the above conditions exist or some of them
replace your crankshaft position sensor
42 bucks easy diy.
