So let me preface this by saying I've spent the past two days searching multiple forums trying to figure out the issue with my 1995 C280 to no avail.

I started the car as usual and let it warm up for a few minutes before leaving work. When I came back outside the car had shut off by itself and the ABS and battery light were illuminated and now it refuses to start no matter what.

My first thought was the battery so I tried giving it a jump but no success. Next I tried putting in a brand new interstate battery off the shelf at my work, again no success. I'm confident the car has spark because when cranking you can hear the car firing but it won't turn over as if there is no fuel.

Tried spraying carb cleaner in the intake after the MAF and it did run for a few seconds.

My next move was to check out some forums and see if someone else had a similar issue. I've read several posts about intermittent starting but none when the car would not start at all. There we no signs that this was gonna happen ie) rough running, cold start/hot start issues. Car starts the first time every time... Until now.

Sorry for the long winded post but I wanted to make sure I was thorough. If anyone has any insight as to what it may be before I start throwing money at probable fixes it would be a big help. Gonna have the mechanic at my work help me troubleshoot tomorrow.

Thanks all, and happy fourth!
