Does this happen only after the car has been at speed, you stop momentarily, the immediately take off (as in a stop sign with no traffic), or does it happen every time you accelerate from a stop?

If it only happens after the engine has been at speed and only if you just stopped, you probably have a sticking injection timer (behind the vacuum pump). This presumes that you don't have the problem if you idle for a while, as in at a traffic light.

If it happens every time you take off, cold or hot, no matter how long you've been idling, your injection timing is fast. This can still be a stuck injection timer (completely stuck, not slow in returning to late timing), or the result of replacing a chain without checking and adjusting the injection timing.

MB diesels DO NOT snort and rattle like a Mack truck at low rpms!
