I have had some starting problems and recently the EPC light came on and the engine just cut out. Any ideas any one? Please.

EPC means Electronic part catalogue, which it used in dealers and company to get the part number.

I think there is some electric disconnecting caused the light, so maybe you go to the nearest MB workshop to diagnosis it.

im not familiar with merc. but does it have a seperate check engine light?....try getting a ebd checker....that checks the codes put out by the engine if there is a problem....

EPC stands for Electronic Power Control, and is related to the brakes and engine management of the car. You may have brake dust on the sensor, which is an easy fix for any mechanic. This system senses if a wheel is spinning faster or slower than the others and sends power or brakes to the other wheels to control the car and prevents a spin-out or slide.
