Change the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS). I did this and ALL of my problems went away!

Hi neumann,

I have seen the exact symptom on a friend's 190E. It just fail to start on a warm engine.
Upon checking we found the Fuel Accumulator Unit being faulty. It's located near the fuel pump and fuel filter.
You might wanna check that...
