engine spins but won't fire up
I have 1990 sl500 I recently bought 3-weeks ago that won't start. I check the spark plugs and tried to see if there is spark came out when I crank the engine but, there's no spark coming out. I tried to replace the camshaft and crankshaft sensor but, still there's no sign of spark on the plugs.
Please, help!

Car won't start
Do a Voltage loss test on your battery..if there is a voltage loss..then go thru and clean the contacts on the battery, Starter, Alternator and the Ground Strap from the engine to the chassis. Then try and start the car.
