It runs pretty good but recently, it has started to have a problem. I will be driving along with everything running fine when all of the sudden the engine just dies. It then will not start until it sits idle with the ignition off for about 30 seconds. This can happen at both high speed and while going slow. I can not determine if it is a fuel problem, an electrical problem, a sensor problem or the engine computer. Any advise or thoughts would be greatly appreciated in helping to diagnose the problem. Thanks in advance ...

My gut instict, sounds like classic symptoms of an ignition control module failure, but I don't work on MBs.
