Trouble with my 2.8 L

Hello,

I got some unsolved mystery trouble with my 2.8 Liter Grand Prix.

The engine shut down after it get in operation temperature. The car starts acting like it get no fuel and then shut down. It wont start until cool down.
The little computer inside the Cockpit tells me check fuel. There is no engine service lamp coming on now. some time ago the engine service lamp was on and tells me change the MEF Sensor so i did but didnt effect the car.
The car doesn't run well in idle generally sounds like not all cylinder are running. When I'm start driving (press the gas pedal) it is like the engine break down the rpm goes down to 300-500 and sometimes the car dies and sometimes the rpm goes up and the engine dont die.

So i was ordering a new crankshaft sensor. But i didnt find it. Some says its near the firewall the other one says under the ignition coil. I also change the ignition coils and the ignition control modul.

Please help me.... nobody in germany really have a glue about those cars... me neither.
I was always driving Pontiac Grand ams and Buick Century without any trouble. Thats my first GM that makes me angry ... :th_king-evil::th_king-evil::th_king-evil::th_king-evil::th_king-evil::th_king-evil::th_king-evil:
 


Let's start with the basics. When was the last time the plugs are spark plug wires were replaced?

The crank sensor should be on the backside of the engine (firewall side).
