Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team!
If your W350 cranks over and gets fuel but won’t start, it might be an issue with the ignition system or a critical sensor. Since you’ve got fuel, check the following: Ensure your glow plugs are working correctly, as they’re crucial for starting a diesel engine. Also, inspect the fuel filter and lines for any blockages or leaks.
Given that it lost power while driving, there might be an issue with the fuel pump or the lift pump. Another possibility is a problem with the timing or the crankshaft position sensor.
