Does the engine feel like it is missing or simply won't rev at 3,000 RPM?

When I got the 190e, it ran very poorly. A Mercedes tech friend suggested bleeding the injectors AT the fuel distributor while the engine was running at idle. I was a bit dubious but with a fire extinguisher close at hand and lots of rags I did it.

I was amazed at the amount of crud that came out. I did each line until there was no more crud. The old engine ran quite well right afterwards.
