Guys, I have been getting tons of breakdown calls and intermittent no starts from mainly ML's in particular lately.

I don't know if the severe Georgia drought has anything to do with it, but I get at least two calls a week for bad crankshaft position reference sensors.

Anybody else seeing more and more of theese go bad?

I know things like this come in waves from time to time in the auto repair business with certain problems coming in waves, then you don't see any for a long time.

I need to buy stock in theese little suckers.

i've replaced about four in last month.

I've replaced 3 in the last two weeks. One 99 e320, one 00 e320, and one 03 c320. I'm in south Jersey.

Replaced mine last week.

Cured a weak idle problem nicely.
