Having spent enormous of hours surfing the net/tech forum to aid in troubleshooting my engine problem, I like to extend a big thank you for every involved contributor. Received my new Crank Position Sensor today, installed it and held my breath while I started the engine, checked my watch to see if it runs beyond 15 minutes....YES...I have put my '89 190E 2.6 back into service. On the down side, I now have a spare OVP relay, fuel pump relay, ignition coil, EZL module; fortunately they all fit inside the glove box along with a few of my metric wrenches in case...? HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
