1999 CL600 sudden power loss

I have a 1999 CL600 . The car runs great for about 15 minutes after starting, then the power will suddenly drops. Engine temp = about 85-90. It feels as if only one bank of 6 is running. I have had to drive 100 miles like this. It runs smooth, just low power. When I stop and try to restart, the starter turns for about 3-5 seconds before it hits. When the engine is off and cools enough, the cycle starts again.

What could be the issue? I recently replaced all coils and plugs.

Thanks,
John

There is an old saying about problems, What did you do last to it?
"I recently replaced all coils and plugs." Sounds like a coil issue.
