2000 mercedes e320 problem, need help

If the car was driven for a few miles (~20) then stopped for 30-40 min, it will not restart. The car cranks but engine won't turn on. The car starts without issues if left for another 30 min. Dealer can't find any problems with battery, charging and starting systems. Problem happens intermittently (2x this past week, 4x last 2 months). Car has 86000 miles.

My 2000 E320 got exactly the same problem, once I replaced both CPS and MAF the problem is gone.

I'll agree with a bad crank sensor. classic symptom. surprising the dealer didn't know that.
