Question

Help answer this question below.

I have a 2001 mercedes ML430 won't start unless engine is cold. I was told this might be a crank shaft sensor. Is there another possible reason for this problem and can I replace it myself? Please tell me where it is located in engine. THANK YOU

    could be vapor lock esp. if you live in an arid climate or extreme swings in temp/humidity happen
    i would try to replace the fuel cap first
    it could however be the crank or cam sensor
    in older cars the ignition advance was controlled by vaccum, theses sensors do this now
    if the engine is starting with full advance it would crank fine cold
    when it is hot, if the engine cranks slow, i would have the crank sensor replaced first
