Replace the crankshaft position sensor (CPS), near the firewall on the bell housing, drivers side. You'll need torx socket, IIRC E8.

Glenmore,

I have a 2000 C280, too. 3 days ago, it stalled on traffic lights, I restarted it, drove another half mile, and it didn't get gas, although I throttled, parked it to the curbside, stopped the engine, and it won't start anymore. Cranks but doesn't start. A friend checked some and says that gas is pumped alright. We'd installed new spark plugs 5k miles ago. Could this be also related to CPS?

Thanks
Ahmet
