1998 E240 cutting out

[Merch]

I have a 1998 E240 which has completed 60K. Over the past couple od days it has cut out and will not start until it has sat for two to three minutes. The air flow meter was replaced at 40K. By the time I get under the bonnet the car is almost certain to start. The engine does not die it simply cuts out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
