Yeah, the engine and ABS lights and cruddy running are classic OVP symptoms. Your motor is running with no computer, a testament to the overall design of the thing. I don't know too many cars other than that vintage MB that will run without an ECU.

Check the fuse on top, and pull it out and inspect the blades. I have seen OVPs with burned up fuse contacts, while the fuse was fine.

Swapping it out for a friend's will be a good test. It's a quick and easy swap.
