2000 E320 Wagon - 75K Miles - Engine Quit & Won't Start
Last night my wife started the car with a cold engine, drove 2 miles, parked for 15 minutes and when driving away, the engine shut off. The starter motor turns it over at high speed, but there's no response. External electrical all works, however, I did not check spark at a plug. Vehicle had its 60,000 mile service. The only error readings in the dash have been there for several days, one being that it will be due due for a Service A in 300 miles, and the other being that there is a "lamp malfunction," which is the left front parking lamp that I'm about to replace, but just haven't bought. It has 1/4 tank of fuel, and a good 100 miles + to go on the tank. I noticed my wife had her purse jammed beneath the rear of the driver's seat, and don't know whether there are any computer hook-ups there. Also wondering whether it might have a fuel filter problem, but don't know where it is.
It's stuck in a location where it has to be moved, and I hate to have it towed.
It is new to me, and I have not gotten into the mechanical issues, other than to do oil and filter changes at 4500 mile intervals.
Any suggestions?
If this is the wrong forum, let me know.
