Check fuel supply. Is the pump shutting down? Pressure should be almost
4.0 bar whilst cranking. The crankshaft position sensor could also be a culprit. The tend to fail hot.
You really should have a shop pull any stored obd codes the computers may have. A MB dealer will have access to vehicle specific codes reguarding the
interior networks that you just cant get from Autozone or a gas station with
a $300 code checker.
Good luck,

Think the dealer is expensive? Do you know how much it costs to train a dealer tech? Or buy the required MB special tools to have on hand?
