I would source a good used cold start valve and swap them out and see if there is a change.
btw, the 190E is the W201 chassis.

All the old Volvos had K-jet back in the early 80s. I've had quite a few (about ten). I don't think I've ever had an old Volvo that the fuel pump didn't go out on. Didn't know if that's a k-jet problem, or just a Volvo problem.
Oh I guess it is a W201. They all look the same. haha.

It's an expensive nuisance to remedy. Good luck

Thanks for the advice. I was planning on doing a general tune up anyway, so maybe that'll take care of it. I've never heard of redline.
