Thanks again and please keep the info coming.
Based on your response in the other thread, you have a bad Water Temp Sensor. Look at my post in there for explanation. And yes I spent a lot of time figuring out the CIS-E KE-II and KE-III Jetronic systems and all that junk. Took me a year of playing around to get my engine back to where it should be running and smooth idle. I bought a very neglected 190E. I did not know how neglected when I bought it, but have and fun and a great learning experience getting it perfect.
