So if this car was mine I would first try to test the fuel pump pressure going to or coming out of the cannister type fuel filter. It should be 4 ro 5 psi and even lower will work.. If you cant afford new injectors I will ship you some used but excellent injectors that were used in a 300D turbo. If they help you, you can either return them or give me 15 dollars a piece if you want to keep them. They have been rebuilt with new nozzles by a friend.. Also even if this is a automatic I think you can pull or push the car up to about 30 or so and then shift from neutral to second and see if it will start. You might have air in the injector lines and you can bleed.... Just give me your number and I will call you... Jim
Unless the mercedes auto is different than every other automatic in the world, you must have the engine turning to turn the transmission fluid pump. Without fluid flowing there is no way to make the hydraulic coupling in the torque converter. In other words..... I have never seen anyone "jump" an automatic like you can by "popping the clutch" on a manual!

Pump the hand pump, bleed the lines, make sure you have a fresh battery then disco....it should work.
