Replaced crank sensor, still having random no start.
Good morning everyone. I have an 05 E55 with 116,000 miles. Completely stock. I was having an issue where if I stopped somewhere and turned it off for 5 minutes or so, when I tried to start it would turn over no problem but wouldn’t start. If I waited a few minutes it would start. So naturally I thought it was the crank sensor. Wasn’t throwing any codes though. I replaced the crank sensor over the weekend. Decided to drive it to work today. Normally I only drive it once or twice over the weekend. Stopped to grab a breakfast sandwich at WAWA this morning and it did it again. Any ideas where I should look next? Thanks.

Did you use OEM? I guess next step is to check fuel pressure next time it doesn't start.

I used Bosch from fcpeuro. I’m guessing there is a way to check fuel pressure with STAR? I have STAR but it’s not with me when it happens. Lol.

I just went through this.....
Check the 30amp fuel pump fuse. Remove, inspect, clean spades (scotch brite , etc..) Also a small finger nail file to clean the fuse holder. Barry suggests contact grease also.....

If you have never replaced your fuel sender/fuel filter you may want to look up Barry's suggestion to check current draw. Hopefully your also checking the fuel pressure (schrader valve on the front fuel rail passenger side)

Thanks. Hope to have some time this weekend to dig into it. Time has been a commodity lately for me. Lol!
