Confussion can have serious consequences. Seek help fast from your local Mercedes dealer who are experts at dealing with confussed owners. They may even get your ML to start.

Now now, Huw. Do you speak Irish or Chinese?

For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling
No but I do speak Welsh as a first language with English as a distant second. However I find the spellchecker invaluable though not infallible.

Depends on which spellchecker one has....
And NGs (and e-mail) are of course the repository of careful, thought-through, spell-checked contributions written with impeccable grammar, boyo.... :-)

thanks huw, i took it to a benz dealer and got it fixed , the problem was a sensor
Yup. There are some things that dealers are good for and Usenet is not. Modern cars increasingly need plugging in to diagnostic computers to find faulty components because they are so much more complex and electronic than cars of my youth. On the other hand cars are also more reliable than ever before on average and need far less servicing, so it is not all bad.

Yes the problem was Crank sensor. Please were is this located , i do not know but i will like to know.
Usual place is on the bell housing pointing to the flywheel or to a stepped disc in a similar place. Specifically on this engine? I don't know.
