I will start with the new camshaft position sensor. This idea came from ZERACER plus I found the following on a Mercedes forum.

Intermittent starting – This is a very common problem if the Camshaft Sensor starts to fail. You may notice the car starts fine one day and then hesitates to start the next. It could also be that the car starts fine when cold, but if it warms up, it’s hard to restart it.

Hopefully, I can eventually report the solution to a slow/hesitation to start when warm.


Great your tackling this! Just a question, for your benefit? When you get your BOSCH sensors, check if they are original BOSCH. I have heard of, and seen (in ads) many BOSCH sensors sold on both (and supplied by various sellers) that advertise BOSCH, but somewhere in the extra fine print says something like it is a substitute. The devil is in the details, for sure! Just an FYI that if a knockoff or substitute, may save you a lot of headaches. Good luck!
