MBZ SL63 - engine dies/shuts down
Hello fellow SL63AMG owners...
Just wondering, have any of you had the following happen?
-when you start your SL63, it dies on you, engine shuts down...forcing you to re-start your engine - then everything is OK?

Is it showing any dash lights?

No idea, talk to Mitch at Famous Autosports. He is the man!

Does this happen when performing a cold start? Or even when oil is warm?
And just right after starting it or having started and accelerating?Last edited by 6.3 ///AMG; 05-12-2011 at 07:00 PM.

This happened to my wife. It was a bad crank sensor. Car died while getting onto the on ramp. She was driving and everything just shut down, including brake pressure. Good thing she was going slow.

Are you letting the car warm up or starting and immediately putting in gear?
Crank sensors are usually after the car is warm.Driving: 2006 Mercedes S600

If it stops only when you are stopped in drive or park, check your PCM. Mine was acting similar on my car and that ended up being it. It was sporadic and everything else was okay. It took the dealership 3 weeks to diagnose it properly.
