I have an E320 135K Gas car has always run great. Last week the car just cut off, after 15 min. the car started an will run about 25 min. and cut off again. Check Fuel pump OK, Check Fuel pump relay also OK. Any Sugestions Stewart Posner

there's no definitive answer based simply on this little bit of info. but my first
thought was the crankcase position sensor. do this keyword search on this
forum, as well as over on mbworld.org and benzworld.org

I was thinking the same thing. The part is also sometimes referred to as crankshaft reference sensor.
