check your wireing connector for corrision or melting from engine heat this was a common problem if this was helpful please leave good feed back

Notorious for intake leaks, the composite plastic intakes crack and leak coolant-as to the lack of power, you mght have overheated it and done some damage to the engine. There was a recall (information below) for the 4.6 for the intake-the overheating and lack of power means you should at least have compression checked and go from there-you may have bad head gaskets or worse. Do a compression test before you do anything else.

Ford Motor Company will extend the recall (01M02) on 4.6L V8 equipped vehicles with plastic intake manifolds. Some of the composite intake manifolds used on 4.6L SOHC engines may develop fatigue cracks at the coolant crossover duct. This condition could result in engine coolant leakage which, if not serviced, may cause engine overheating. Complete loss of coolant may result in engine damage or engine failure.
The updated recall now includes:
• Certain 1996 through 2001 Model Year Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Model Year Crown Victoria with Taxi
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Lincoln Town Car Limousine and Livery Prep Package
• Certain 1996-2001 Crown Victoria Taxis, Police cars and Lincoln Town Car Limousine and Livery cars.
• Certain 1996 through 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Vehicles with 4.6L SOHC engines built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant from the beginning of production for the 1996 Model Year through January 28, 1997.
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor Vehicles with 4.6L SOHC engines built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant from November 22, 1997 through December 15, 2000.
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Crown Victoria Taxi Vehicles with 4.6L SOHC engines built at the St. Thomas Assembly Plant from November 22, 1997 through December 15, 2000.
• Certain 1998 through 2001 Lincoln Town Car Limousine Prep Package and Livery Vehicles with 4.6L SOHC engines built at the Wixom Assembly Plant from November 22, 1997 through December 15, 2000.

if you dont have a check engene light on check your fuel pressure you may have a plugged filter or weak fuel pump if pressure and flow are ok check your regulator remove vacum line should put it in full pressure

you must have a tow attachment installed....i would check them for being grounded or frayed and shorting pull (tow lites)plug loose to it to check if short leaves

any trouble codes in memory? does it do this at idle or any time? does it restart right away with no problem?

first check remote key battery possibly faulty battery, replace battery and check, when you operate remote aim it to the rear wive mirror not to the door lock, if not work after replace battery on key only option you have to drive your car to Mercedes workshop who have the right diagnose CPU for this particular model, if you plug any other diagnose CPU or tester you can't check this advance center locking system properly if you once fixed Mercedes diagnose tool in to the your car within short time period you can find what's wrong in your car it's easy fro experienced technician to do that, however before go to the workshop once again check all the fuses if any fuse blown replace it. is this information helped you?
