2003 requires priming the filter with a suction devise. 2004-2009 will self prime by turning the key on for 10 second and then cranking until it starts.
The 2003 Sprinter has a mechanical fuel pump on the engine. While changing the filter you have airlocked the fuel system. The way I restart them is to apply suction to the return hose on the filter(look for arrows) and pull on it until you get fuel. Had this problem on 2002 sprinter, the problem was the sensor on the bottom of the filter not connected properly
Dodge started to sell the Mercedes Sprinter in 2002.
No start, die off, low power, smoke from tail pipe, check engine light,
You have a low side fuel system leak. Normal causes are the o-rings on the lines and fittings at the fuel filter.
Try changing transmission fluid and filter
bleed the fuel and then start or manualy fill the new fuel filter and then try it
Just start the engine.
Start error means that the "chipped" key message is not getting to the proper computers. You need a scan tool to check codes in the engine, skim, cluster, etc.
Start with changing the fuel filter.
wont start after changing fuel filter
start by changing the fuels filter and make sure they are full of fuel.if the hold filter where empty on removal it's your priming pump that is falty then check the shut off selenoid on the injector pump it should have 12v power wiht ingnition key on
