CLS starts, then no start, then starts?
I have a 01 CLS.
Last week, it wouldn't start up in the morning for my wife to go to work .
Turned over fine, but no start. I got home, and it started right up. The next day, I checked it. and same no start problem again. Turns over normal speed, and the fuel pump pressurizes and fuel level comes up on the gauge.( 1/2 tank)
This morning it starts right up again! ???
Don't want wife to drive it and get stranded!
Replaced timing belt a few months ago, so doubt its jumping teeth or any timing issues. It's got 180K on it, but still runs strong.
Any ideas ?
BTW, it has a nearly new battery
Any help would be much appreciated! JoeC

Hi, thanks for the reply. This just started happening Friday morning, and it was cold and rainy. Over the last 2 days I was able to start it 3 or 4 times, but it also wouldn't start several times as well, when I tried it. The fuel gauge goes up when I turn the key to on, which evidently means there is fuel pressure, which seems to mean the fuel pump is working..... at least that is what I read when researching this. Also, the little key symbol on the gauge pod blinks five times when I shut it off. I read that this is an indication that the chip in the ignition key is good.
