I had a similar problem with my 1998 C280 about six months ago. It would just shut off and I couldn?t get it started. It would start to sputter just before it would shut off. It would not start for a while, and then after the engine cooled off it would start fine. I took it to the dealership and $600 or so later, they determined it was a sensor that had to be changed. Works fine now, other than the problem I just posted.
