Issue it Seems never resolved?

Hi,
I just purchased a beautiful 1995 S500.
Im in Detroit and the vehicle is from California.
Very,Very clean car.I purchased for a extreme low price because of The issue I see plague a lot of mercedes.
Once warm the car sputters and stalls and then wont start again for maybe a couple of hour's.The crank sensor was replaced. New Spark plug wires and plugs also new distributor cap. I don't think the rotors where but I will check. Has there ever been a yup!! this is it!
Or its either this or that. Really want his Baby to roll again.
Every option works on this mercedes. Also yes it does have the newer engine harness. Help much appreciated

Solved!!
Rotors was needed.So parts replaced was Distributor caps,Spark plug wires,Ignition coils,Spark plugs and I found a few bad Vacuum lines broken.Now it runs good but there is a slight miss at Idle.
There is no DTC codes either. When I find out what is the solution with this next problem I will post. In the mean time I will have to replace the Clutch Fan Its Bad.The Mercedes does not run hot but he is teetering towards that end and of course I tested the fan and it is not spinning like it should.Water pump is not leaking and the hoses look good so does the radiator.
