My 2003 MBenz C240 won't start... Battery is good. When I try to start, the engine turns over but won't start. Is there an easy way for me to troubleshoot the problem myself? Is there a link to a step-by-step guide to check spark plug wires, fuel, etc? Anyone's help is GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thank you!
