Default 95 C280 Start problem

Hi All,
New to the forum with a 95 C280. I discovered a few issues with my car on the drive home from Vegas (450 miles).
The one I'm most concerned about is that if the car is hot (ran for awhile), it will not start back up unless I wait about five minutes (cranks, but won't start). The PO swapped out the fuel pump and filter and I checked it out briefly last night when it happened and I am getting fuel.
I have no check engine light or codes, but read that these symptoms are indicative of a bad crank position sensor

Any thoughts on this? Also, what's the best way to get at the sensor? I could not find any images online. The only thing I found is that it's located at the rear of engine, top of bellhousing.

Thanks

Anyone??? I see two part numbers listed for this, one with wire attached and one without. I plan on picking up the Bentley manual, but I just got this car and want to figure out this issue before it becomes worse.

If anyone can give me a better idea of where to look, that would be great.

Thanks
