Here is a forum and instructions.

Crankshaft Positioning Sensor Replacement
Problems with the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) on Mercedes-Benz cars are fairly common. If you have been experiencing stalling or no start conditions, a failed crankshaft position sensor is often the problem. Your CPS may have failed if the engine cranks but it will not start. At first, you may experience no start conditions intermittently. As the crankshaft position sensor fails completely, the car will no longer start or will die when you are driving. Starting problems are initially random, but more frequent when the engine is hot. Other symptoms of a failed crankshaft position sensor are poor acceleration, engine vibrations, poor throttle response, bad fuel economy, hesitation, engine stalls. The engine starts if you let it cool down. If you are stuck on a parking lot and the car will not start, let the car cool down at least 30 minutes and then try again. ( Thanks to MB Medic)

the idle control motor probly worn-on the throttlbody--also the tps sensor - get intake area inspectd--a haynes manual will xplain complete car-partstore hazit--------starter fluid is used for low compression or weak spark

gas or diesel..

catalytic converter is clogged basically its stopping up your exhaust. Over time the pressure will slowly vent out, allowing your car to start, only to build up the backpressure again, stalling engine.

Classic example of a clogged catalytic converter! I bet it will restart after two hours as well.

On this particular model there is only one fuse block. This car is called a w126 body. The fuse block is located under the hood, driver's side, nearest the windshield, under a black cover about 5 inches by 8 inches and has a quick release clasp right in front. Pull up on this clasp and make sure it releases, pull the lid up as it will hinge up, and pull the back towards you to remove it all of the way. The inside of the lid will have positions for all of the fuses. If you need anything else for this car, feel free to ask. I do have manuals for these.

IT IS IN THE REAR OF THE ENGINE WHERE IT MOUNTS TO THE TRANSMISSION.THE SENSOR READS THE NOTCHES ON THE FLYWHEEL.ABOUT A 1/2 HOUR JOB.

My car is doing the same. You need to replace the crankshaft position sensor. You can order online for about $60.00. Part is $140.00 at dealer.
