99 mercury villager :started with a misfire feel over a month, died after sudden sputter, restarted after a 2 hour cool down has not ran right since. Starts great, does not idle in drive, does not always stay running in N either. Bucks severely under 35mph and does some chugging after 50mph. Have replaced:plugs, distributor cap, fuel filter, and knock sensor!

A new fuel filter would be a good start.

First thing to check is the fuel pressure at the injectors.

Buy a 1 gallon fuel can, and when it does it again, turn it off (if it has'n yet) pour the gas inside the gas tank and try to turn it again, if it does start right away, it may be a bad fuel pump, this because after a time it gets hot and looses power, the cold gas will cool it down and make it work again... Good luck

is the check engine light on? This could be a number of different problems a check engine code would hopefully lead u in the right direction.I would also need a little more info on what it is doin does it run fine for a few seconds or does it sputter n misfire and will it start right right back up? let me know and good luck

You have a bad cam sesnor in the distributor- for certain. Rich Porter on ebay has the best reman for $200. Guaranteed fix. 99 was famous for this, runs cold for 15 mintues then acts up and quits, tach usually jumps around too.

replace the fuel filter,sounds as if it is cloged

There is a condition called thermal breakdown in ignition parts( ie: spark control modules). Pretty common really in older stuff. Why does it happen only after shutdown? because of a condition called heat soak. underhood temps rise higher than ever right after shutdown. Your ignition module is mounted to the side of the distributor. If practical when the problem happens pour cold water on the module give it one minute and see if it starts(wont damage it) if it starts right up you proved it bad. Hope I helped Thanks
