- Mercedes SLK230 Automatic
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem to the one I'm experiencing with my 1999 SLK230. It starts and runs absolutely fine, but after driving for typically 15 to 20 minutes it literally cuts out (engine), and when this happens the coolant fan runs for some time as this occurs. The engine will not then re-start for at least 10 to 15 minutes, at which point it runs fine again for about the same amount of time. There are no misfires or uneven/lumpy running symptoms, the ignition lights are fine and the engine will turn over after it has stopped but it won't attempt to re-start until left for some time. I have fitted a new crank position sensor. Any ideas will be much appreciated, hoping to get it on a diagnostic scanner in a few days but no engine management light showing.
Thanks, Neal.
