When my catilitic converter plugged up it acted similar. To test I simply opened up a joint ahead of it and it ran perfect. I have very little experience here and just saw your post trying to fix another problem. FYI

My W124 260E has the same problem with platinum plugs. I went back to regular 4 prong copper and it runs perfect now. Try switching back to regular.

Champion SY6CC (i think thats the number)are the ones for the 8V 190, im a member of the UK forum, and there has been a lot of talk about plugs....the general feeling is any change from the proper brand tend to cause problems, even if changing to another quality brand such as NGK.
