problem #1

CLK430 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 59,000 miles
Crankshaft position sensor (cps) failed on my 2000 clk 430. Was replaced by dealer for $296. Failed numerous times, including once on the highway at highway speeds. Engine shuts off or refuses to turn over when hot (although battery keeps cranking), then after 20-30 minutes it turns on fine when cooled down.
