[W126 Coupe] Car Keeps Cutting Off

[Ian Gatenby]

I had a similar problem in my '83 500SEC - and had it cut out dozens of
times.  Finally tracked it to a broken wire in the harness to the coil - it
was broken internally and could not be seen.  Your car has a different
wiring harness setup, but it could be something like this.  Cost to fix mine
was months of frustration  - and $15 for the harness.

I have a 1988 560SEC.  I recently took my car to have the radiator replaced.
On the way home from the shop my car just cut off and this has never
happened in the four yeas Ive owned the car prior to having the radiator
replaced.  The car was sent back to the mechanic who for a week couldnt
figure out what the problem was.  He finally told me the crank sensor was
rusted and melted and needed to be replaced.  That was done and now when I
drive the car for about 45 minutes to an hour and turn the car off, it does
not start up just as it was doing before the crank sensor was replaced.  I
suspect something was done improperly to my car.  Any help, knowledge or
feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.
