Car in question: 1992 300sl 12v
A little while ago (about 12months) I had the problem whereby after about 5-10 mins of running the engine would stutter at low revs until it stopped altogether. I would then have to leave it for at least 2 hours before it would start again.
I replaced the distributor cap and rotor arm as recommended on here since it was probably moisture which was apparently a common problem. This fixed the problem but now it is happening again after only about 5k miles.
Could it still be the same problem even though it was was replaced so recently?
The other suggestion is that it might be a fault Crank sensor? Does this sound feasible also?
Thoughts on where to start pleas?
