2002c220cdi

My 2002 Merc (c220 cdi) is showing an EPC warning, it has never had this issue for the years I’ve owned it, just appeared yesterday after it had its MOT. The obvious answer would be go back to the garage but I had a bad experience there anyway and will not be returning.
The warning comes on about 50% of the times I turn it on and the car will either not start (engine turns over but won’t ignite) or will drive and then die while I am driving which is pretty uncomfortable.
I went to Mercedes services who quoted me £200+ /hour for diagnosis let alone actual repair. I want to know is there anything that I can do myself/ any guides people are aware of that I can use to try and identify where the fault is?
The manual just says “have the fuel injection system checked”. I know very little about what goes on under the bonnet but am willing to give it a try, just don’t know where to start.
Thanks.
