1991 Mercedes Benz 190E will stall out while driving. You have to wait 20 minutes for the car to start again only to continue to stall out. Could this problem be the crank position sensor on the car?

Answer 1

Don't know if this will help. but i am brake'in a 190e on ebay. some one bought the crank sensor. When i removed it from the vehicle which ran perfect i noticed that the lead to the sensor is actually not connected at all, it just sits up in side the diagnostic socket. i thought that this was very odd at the time so I double checked this and it just doesn't connect to anything apart from that socket. Plus there is no linkage. This means that the only time that sensor is used is when you plug a diagnostic tester into the socket to set the timing it appears that it does not go to the ECU. i still find this very odd. but you check your self. Its only 2 screws to remove the diagnostic socket Just thought I might mention this, the sensor I removed was from the front of the engine. The pulley end. Maybe there is another sensor at the fly wheel end which talks to the ECU. just guessing
