what year

if its an older one my best guess is the fuel pressure is bouncing a bit
from the injecter pump cold fuel.
it takes a short time for the pump to pull stable temp fuel from the
tank.

we have some big yachats here on the island and once warm they calm
down.
8 & 16 cylinder monsters

a miss fire from a cold cylinder would be just that a miss
fire<shake>with more of the normal black smoke.

i my self am only speaking of the older cars. don't have a clue on the
newer multi pulse injecters .

and i am only speaking the 3 MBs i have owned.
i would also make sure the hose carrying the boost air clamps are tight.  

the case, minus a few cans!

Tiger,

The surge is from the engine's governor trying to stabilize the idle of
a cold engine with a misfiring or lame cylinder.

Suggest you replace the questionable glow plug, and why not replace them
all while you're at it - they last about 100K in my experience - use
only Beru or Bosch.

If the replacement GP doesn't fit, carbon is the cause and can easily be
reamed by turning a 1/4" high speed drill in the hole with your fingers;
its very easy and makes all the difference.

States, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The UKUSA
Agreement's existence has never been officially acknowledged by any country
even today.


P271: Sharing seats alongside the NSA operators, at least in some areas,
are SIGINT specialists from Britain's Government Communications Headquarters
(GCHQ). According to a former Menwith Hill official, the two groups work
very closely together.


P229: David Watters, a telecommunications engineer once attached to the
CIA's communications research and development branch, pulls out a microwave
routing map of the greater Washington area and jabs his index finger at a
small circle with several lines entering it and the letters NSA. "There's
your smoking pistol right here." Watters says it is tied into the local
telephone company circuits, which are interconnected with the national
microwave telephone system owned by AT&T. Other specialists testified to
the same thing: purely domestic intercepts.


P223: "Technical know-how" for microwave communications intercept was
aided by William Baker, head of AT&T's Bell Laboratories and at the
same time an important member of the very secret NSA Scientific Advisory
Board. After all, it was Bell Labs under Baker that, to a great extent,
developed and perfected the very system that the NSA hoped to penetrate.

Our Military contractors are making money issuing China citizens a National
ID Card??? Our we thinking of what the Communists will do with it???

*   China ordered all users of the Internet to register with the police, as

*   The order came from the Ministry of Public Security.

Well, there's a new way to control Internet users: require them to identify
themselves, no doubt your U.S.-created National ID Card will be required for
access. That ought to stop pornography: identify each and every user.
