I went down and got it started and drove home.

The car runs perfectly otherwise. I got 30.5 miles per gallon on the trip. It has 61,000 miles on it with original plugs.
Should I change plugs, or something else?
same problem with my 1999 E320 I am replacing the crank positioning sensor. Mine would stall while driving. I would let it sit for a few min. and it would start back up and sometimes drive for days until it would happen again. Got my sensor from All OEM auto parts for $76.00 Dealer wanted $125.00 my local garage is putting it in for $45.00. Dealer told me it was an 1 1/2 hour job. At $85.00 an hour labor you do the math. Some say it is a do it yourself too! but I don't touch electrical repairs. Good luck
