Mercedes Benz repair: 190E Engine Missing & Stalling, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump relay


Question
1990 Mercedes 190E 2.6. About 270000 miles.
After sitting all night, it starts without a problem, and runs fine for several miles or about 15-20 minutes. Then it starts to miss, buck, hiccup, fart and generally try to die. If it does stall, it takes a lot of cranking to get restarted. If I am on the highway, or if I can keep the RPM's at or above 1500 for 10 minutes or so, the problem resolves itself and the car runs fine for the rest of the day. This happens pretty consistently.
