Default RE: lost of power in a 190E

Just a shot in the dark...I had a fuel pressure regulator fail on my Cadillac with Northstar motor and it was acting similar to what you experience. The diaphragm of the FPR was perforated and fuel was seeping into the intake manifold thru the vacuum line. When this happens you end up with an over-rich condition. Replacing the FPR solved it. You can pull the vacuum line from the FPR and look/sniff for traces of fuel, it should be clean and dry inside that line...
