Problem with stalling

I have a 2005 SLK 55 AMG. It suddenly stalled in rush hour traffic. I had it towed to the dealership - they changed the crankshaft position sensor. I picked it up and it stalled twice again. It is at the dealer service shop now, and has been for almost a week. They can't find anything wrong with it. Help!!! Does anyone out there have any ideas?

Have they looked at your intercooler pump? or maybe ur fuel injection system could be clogged or contaminated someone has to be able to help you, they are supposed to be smarter than you and I.

It's unlikely to be the be the intercooler pump. When they go you lose some horsepower, but they don't cause stalling. And besides, the SLK55 doesn't have an intercooler.

It could be the cam position sensor. A MAF usually throws codes, but I've heard the cam position sensor often just causing intermittent problems and no codes.
