1995 E320 Station Wagon 250,000 miles
 

Whilst driving home in 119* heat and a mile away from my garage the engine quit. We coasted to a safe area and tried a number of times to re-start but she wouldn't ignite. After battling with an overwhelmed Roadside Assistance for two hours, I returned to see if it would start and sure enough fired up immediately. I guessed maybe the fuel pumps might have overheated...The wagon has 250,000 miles and I do not remember any fuel problems ever.
Well it went for about a half a mile before shutting down again. So I walked home and will try again in the morning. Any other guesses as to what else might cause a situation like this?

I thank you for your answers in advance! And no I'm not moving to Alaska!

nestorb98, when was the fuel filter last replaced? I had a similar situation with our 1992 300CE ... engine died for seemingly no reason on a hot day. Replaced the fuel filter and all was well again. Fuel filters on that vintage MB vehicle should be replaced every 60,000 miles.

classic crankshaft sensor symtom.

Fuel pump relay.

OVP relay....directly behind the battery.

Fuel filter was it!

Thanks all.
