Intermittent problems like this are a big headache for the vehicle owner and the service shop. It sounds like the shop is leaning towards a fuel delivery problem. Have they replaced the fuel pump relay also? The problem may also be due to another power relay in the ignition circuit or possibly the igntion switch. Any clues you can think of that happen while the trouble is occuring can really help to solve the problem.

I just have to ask, what is a bb sender, what is a pumpasy aa wiring, and what is a fuel pump jumper harness?

When the car dies, what do you do, call a tow truck, tow it to Dealer, Dealer trys to start car, car starts, all is good? They give car back, car dies again?

Several hundred possibilities could be weeded out if some trivia was provided.  
What kind of Lincoln, how many miles on it, what year and engine, what exactly has been done up to this point, Check Engine Light on, CEL flashing or not, codes pulled, etc.?

A 92 Lincoln may have the same symptom as an '02 Lincoln and a different cause of that symptom.

“LS” is the model name. 2000 would a gen1. Is this the V8 or the V6? Has anyone looked at the MAF sensor? It can give very similar symptoms.  
Maybe you need to try a different dealer?
