Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz E320 owners report experiencing stalling and no-start issues, which may be attributed to a faulty camshaft position sensor. Symptoms of this problem can include rough running, reduced performance, and engine vibrations. Additionally, issues with the camshaft position sensor can stem from bad wiring, engine oil leaks, or a faulty ECU. Owners also note that difficulties starting the vehicle and a blinking engine light may indicate problems with the crankshaft position sensor. Repair costs for the crankshaft position sensor typically range from $150 to $250, while replacing the camshaft position sensor can average between $200 and $400. It is recommended that owners facing these issues have their camshaft position sensor checked and potentially replaced to resolve the stalling and starting problems.
