91 300se - rough start

I just did a major tune up on my car. Runs very smooth. However, starting is a challenge. It takes more than a few cranks for all six to hit. When it does start, it runs rough for 3-5 seconds then smooths out. Any thoughts.

Thanks

Did the rough running after start-up exist before the tuning work?

Did you use platinum plugs?

Or copper core plugs? My 190E is going to get switched back from platinum to copper this week-end. Symptoms similar to you: needs a couple of cranks to start and is then "balky" for a second or so.

YOUR STUMBLE CAN BE CAUSED BY ONE OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING
INCORRECT PLUGS---USE H-9DC OR H-9DCO
DIRTY OR LEAKY FUEL INJECTORS
WORN VALVE GUIDES(OIL FOULING PLUGS)
I'M GONNA CATCH HELL FOR THIS ONE---BURN REG. GAS
