Hi,
I have 2004 merc 6.2 mpi with 540 hours on it, just recently replaced manifolds.
engine takes really long time to start on the ground. when cranking for 20-30 seconds and then let key go - engine actually turns over couple of times .. sort of, then spits out smoke out of flame arrester and stalls. last time it took me good 20 minutes to start it (with starting fluid).
once you get it started and actually run it - it will restart without a problem. rinda scanner didnt' pick anything up.
fuel filter replaced in may, fuel separator, oil filter oil, replaced just now.
spark plugs replaced 1 month ago with manifolds and risers.
