w124 e420 stalls

hi All,
I have a 1995 E420, wierd things have been hapenning.
Even since I changed the fan clutch and Radiator ( got Shredded) the car has been acting wierd.
It starts normally, roars like any v8, runs for about 10 mins, feels like it is suffocating ( not enough gas) then turns off. Then if you try to start it, it wont start, it will start backfiring ( Loudly).
If you leave it alone for about an hour and come to start it , it will start right away.
No Engine Light.

One thing i did notice when it was on in idle, and I felt it started to stumble, I thought I would give it some gas to see if it would correct it, but it just turned off, and wouldnt start for another hour.
Even if I am driving, it will stall on me.

One thing to Mention, I just Read the codes off the reader ( the main One)
I got code 6
Which are idle speed control fault and Camshaft position sensor Defective.
One other thing, Even if it starts running rough and I turn it off myself, It still wont turn on unless I wait 45 min-1 hour.
I just scanned pins 4 and 7, no codes on them at all.

One more point to meniotn, The ASR Light does come on sometimes, but goes away when i turn the car off then on, it comes on randomly, not everytime, and It did used to come on before I had this stalling problem. any ideas?
thanks
