Got me a SLK 230 K. Trouble!!!

Replace the crank angle sensor. It may be something else, but these are suspect and replacing it is prudent.

A failing crank angle sensor is capable of intermittent stalling, no start, and jerky running. Bill Ditmire Ditmire Motorworks,Inc.

You think so? I did a search on the web. The problems related to crank angle sensor give more like jerky motors. Mine seems to go smoothly but a bit dull. And occasionally it dies.

And 99 times out of 100, it will NOT leave a fault code!

Air Mass Sensor is another favorite!!

Well... In fact I got my car back from the garage today. They replaced something that they called "ground module". I don't know how to translate it correctly to english from norwegian. It has something to do with distributing the electricity, as I understood. Immidielty when I started the car I noticed that the controls in the dashboard had much brighter light.

But wait till you hear this - they also found out that they have to replace the ecu. It's ordered from Germany and in a week and a halv I'll get it installed in my car. Luckily the garage will cover it. It costs a lot of money.

What year is your car?

I'm glad to hear that the trouble seems to be fixed. My own '99 SLK has not given me any problems, so I was sorry to read that yours did. I hope that you enjoy the car from now on!

Thank you. It looks promising now. :-)

Yes, too young to give trouble as a matter of course!
