The crankshaft position sensor in the 2006 Mercedes ML350 is located at the rear side of the engine near the firewall on the driver side. It is covered by the heat shield. The purpose of this senor is to send information to the ECU about the crankshaft position and the rotational speed of the engine. It works together with the camshaft position sensor which monitors the camshaft position and opening of each valve on the engine cylinders. Symptoms of a bad crankshaft position sensor include vibration of the engine, poor engine performance, stalling, mIS Firing of one of multiple cylinders, and an illuminated Check Engine light. The replacement cost for a new sensor is around $50 to $65 for parts and $90 to $105 for labor.

I just replaced the MAF and it still stalls intermittently. The next thing to try would be the Crank Shaft Postion Sensor, but don't know where it is exactly located, and if it could be reached from top? Join Date: Sep 2004 Posts: 5 I was able to remove the part. Took less than 5 minutes to locate
and unscrew once I purchased the E8 socket. Crossing my fingers that replacing this part will fix the problem , and then it will be up for sale. Join Date: Mar 2005 Posts: 47 If it does not work it may be that the sensor needs to re-initialised by the dealer. let me know how it works out... Join Date: Mar 2005 Posts: 47 is this the reason that u r selling??? Join Date: Sep 2004 Posts: 5
Mikdade, I'm selling it to avoid any future problems. The car runs great when I don't have electrical problems, but I have been saying this for the past two years. After I fix something ( always >$400), I feel like it's not worth selling at that point and just continued to drive it. I've gotten smarter and trying to fix problems myself, it is is an easy fix. I'm more worried about my wife driving this car with my daughter and having it stall without warning on the expressway. I plan to get a used GS300 as a replacement. Do you know of any buyers ?

I know the original post was two years ago but... Just replaced my CPS on my '94 C280 and it was a major pain. The part lives just below the oil filter. Access was from the bottom. Could really only feel the part. If you climb up on top of the engine you can peek down past the oil filter and you can see it. Took a 5mm allen wrench from below to remove it. Had to remove a small cable clamp that held the wires running to the starter to get my hand past it. Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: Posts: 47 Sounds like a pain... I hope mine holds out!!
