95 S 420 gets hot and runs rough

maybe some one can help me out here, when i start the car she will run fine and then once she warms up she will run rough and cut off and you have to wait 20 min to restart and then it will run fine for a couple of days but if i let it sit for about a week it will do it all over again, it will stumble and backfire, and loose rpms, i have put a new wiring harness on new coils new crank shaft postion sensor, but this problem is driving me

i need help here

w140 - 500 SEL
perhaps the wiring harness (if my traduction is good) who is very bad on this generation of cars.
so, the plastic of wire break and there is short-circuit or/and the heads of distribution with the fingers.
I had this type of problem on the v8
