Just about the very same experience that I had. Went to the store, came out JUST got it started, a few days later drove around, engine got hot, would not start, called road side assistance, waited another 20 min. and she started...In my case it was the CPS. Heat seems to be the tell tail sign, if your ML cools down and then it starts, the CPS would be my guess. Cost me $300.00 part and labor. It probably is a DIY, but it is really tight in behind the driver side cylinder head, it even took the tech a bit of time to change it. | ||

Been there done that................... my CPS died last winter in Lakeland just after the wife and I had breakfast at Bob Evans on South Florida Ave. I did manage to get it started after many tries. I had it fixed at Central Florida Euro Cars in Lakeland. They charged me $239.36 parts and labor. It did not appear to be as easy of a job as some suggest. My 2 cents.

| Re: CPS ? Nope, i did not have to unhook anything. Yes if you drive to the shop (if it is far) they will have to let it sit for about an hour or even two. Since their arms will be right beside the down pipes for the exhaust. And it gets pretty hot. | ||

It IS a tight squeeze to get at it. I think it is a #8 torqe screw. It was hot, the tech use some water to try to cool it down. I am not sure if it would be easier to reach from underneath, but, hey I did not try that route. | ||
