I have a 02' c240. 48000 miles auto. It dies sometimes and then has a hard time starting. It truns over, but dosen't seem to catch. happens mainly at stops. After multiple attemps it finally starts sometimes. It even has a hard time starting and some points. Check light comes on and off.

SOURCE: Numerous error codes, brake, abs, srs, and lighting problem

i got to admitt thats alot of things to go wrong at once. i am no expert here, but there is a chance you got a loose or broken ground somewhere. chk. battery cables make sure there clean and tight, and any other ground straps you can find. with todays computered cars and trucks grounds are a big thing and just one not making contact can make the whole system go haywire. GOOD LUCK.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the advice. I did have a couple of things wrong but most were fixed with the battery solution. The MFG had a recall on the ABS system"
