SL550 2007, starting problems
Seeking suggestions on where the starting problem might lie. The engine will turn over well but won't fire. Was waiting an hour for a tow and tried numerous times to see if it would fire up. It did in about 45 mins of intermittent attempts and drove it to the shop which usually works on it. They couldn't find anything in the fault codes but on a hunch replaced the crankshaft position sensor with my approval. The car started but has failed again and is sitting in my garage DOA. I'll need to have it towed but not sure if I should tow to the same shop (they do some imports and close by), and independent import shop 20 miles away, or to a MB dealer 18 miles away?
Fuel filter was changed about 15, 000 miles ago and there is a full tank of gas from a reliable gas station.
Ideas and suggestions welcomed. I realize the shop location is my call. Thanks
