1987 190e 2.3 touch the gas pedal and she stalls

[mespe]

Hi,

My daughter's 1987 190e (on it's last wheel) has 262K miles on it. It started stalling while she was driving it, only to restart after one or two attempts. Got progressively worse.

I brought the car into my shop to check it out. Compression # 1 = 120 psi #'2 2&3 = 180 PSI and #4 = 150 PSI. Hadn't changed much in the 18 months that she's been driving it. I now, it's terrible, but this car drove like a bat out of hell when I was driving it,,, suprisingly alot of fun,,, peppy,, well anyway,,,

Vacuum = 14 inches at idle. Can't find any vacuum leaks. 18 months ago I checked the valve timing and it was fine.

I drove the car into the shop, and started fiddling with it, now It barely wants to run, I don't think I cross the combobulator with the spherical axis, but just wanted to start a thread to maybe get some suggestions, and to let you all know what I discovered,,,
