If I were you I would take this car to a highly reputable Mercedes-Benz only mechanic such as Enrique. If you want the best MBZ master tech in California you need to go to Enrique. His shop is called Mr. MB Motors and its on Reseda Blvd. in the San Fernanado Valley in Los Angeles.
The issue you're having with starting must be first checked by checking the codes. Did you see your tech do this? Were you standing there while he checked the codes?
I would not leave your 12 cylinder sedan in anyone's shop. Just my opinion.
BTW, I was at Enrique's the other day and met a guy with the same car. Midnight blue 1992 V12. And of course Enrique is the only mechanic that works on it.

All of that is indeed true. I have heard the same about Enrique and MR.MB. Motors, and am thinking about a trip down there, even though it is 600 or more miles away. It'd be worth it to get a complex problem resolved properly.
And I would get to meet Ernesto (BENZ-LGB) for lunch as we'd discussed, and maybe other MB Shop friends down there.
It would be a small vacation, I guess. But he is highly acclaimed by the members in the Los Angeles area, as competent, and very very fair.
I would have to call him first, and try to find a hotel nearby I guess, rent a car maybe. He gets customers from far away, even Idaho and Texas I believe. The MBshop members honored him with a special plaque.
