2002 Mercedes E320 Car Cuts off!

I have a 2002 Mercedes E320 with 105k miles. Yesterday, it cut off on me while at the lights. Started back up after alot of tries. I proceeded to my destination, When I was ready to leave, the car would not start. The battery power was good, it turns over but would not start. After alot of tries, someone advised that I leave it for sometime before trying again. I then left it for 39mins and when I came back, it started. I went back home without incidents. Today, I took it to the staore and when it was time to leave, it didnt start again but was turning over. After a few tries, it started. Please what do you think the problem is?

I have a 2001 E320 which just stopped running at a very low speed on several occasions. On the last occasion it would not start again for 20 minutes. Just as I was about to call a tow truck it started just fine. I took it to the shop (not the MB dealer) and he suggested it may be the flywheel idle speed sensor that was bad. He replaced it and i have not had further problems. Not exactly same as your problem but some similarities.

Could be your starter failing but that would not explain the shut off..could be a sensor within the engine i would have the alternator tested too..

1997 mercedes benz e320 ets light is on and car keep cutting off

ETS is your electronic traction control system... that would not make the car cut off. Check battery voltage, alternator output voltage (autozone can do this for you) and fuel pressure (cutting off may be a bad fuel pump / filter )

I refueled my tank 1995 Mercedes e320. In less than four miles the engine started to miss. I opened the gas cap and fuel spewed out. I have syphoned off fuel and driven it nearly 30 miles. There is no...

Sounds like you may have picked up some water at last refueling. Drain the tank or just drive the car till you get rid of all the bad fuel. U should go back to where you got the lousy gas and have them reimburse you. I did.

I have a 1999 e320 that runs fine when its cool but when it has been driven for about an hour and warm up real good it cuts off and wont start again until it cool off....... Can someone please help me

Sounds like the same problem I had about 2 years ago in my 00 e320 cdi. The car was cutting out after about 10 mins in traffic and would only start again when cooled down. I couldnt tell you what sensor it was but it was only a simple sensor and I would be a 100% that it was the same problem.

2005 Merceds E320 wont start

Did you try starting it in neutral? There is a safety interlock for starting the car in park or neutral. Have them check that.
