Guys,

My E320 was cold started and about 3 Kilo (2 miles) down the road the engine died down as if there was no supply of gas. The same thing happened three times with the first two I managed to restarted it in after 10 minutes; and it had no problem all day long. The third one happened 2 days ago and engine cannot start up again.

The mechanic told me today that I need a new crank position sensor and also an air mass meter. He quoted 750 dollars for both parts and labor. Now, i got two questions: 1. are these two parts causing the problem 2. is his charge of 750 OK?

Your input will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Joe
