Engine Performance problem
1999 Mercedes Benz ML430 V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

ML430 starts then dies and will not start until 15mins later
sometimes I can drive 60miles no prob
sometimes only 1mile then it dies, have to wait then restart

probably needs a crankshaft position sensor. Very common failure item. Here is the location of it. Only get the part from the dealer.
