Just find a highway that you can run at least 70mph for about two hrs non stop and that shoud clear out all the cobwebs out of the car.
Funny that you say that. On my most recent thread titled 2 valve bodies, I explain that I took a valve body from a 300E and put it in my 190E. I experienced the same exact problems as OP and I ended up needing to take a trip and dodd 70-75mph and the symptom cleared up. However it returned the next start up :-( Keep us posted on this issue.
