First of all I'm surprised that the mechanic didn't hook up his computer to check the fault codes before replacing the spark plugs to make sure that was the issue or something else. If you have a gasoline truck, my guess is that it is the fuel pump. Good luck with the dealer. I know how that process can be very time consuming and frustrating to make sure your car is fixed right.
I hope you changed the coil pack also not just the spark plugs! Bad coils will cause sputtering too not just spark plugs.. also i would check the relays! That might be the reason for the flickering lights..
Possible Causes : Car Starts But Will not Stay Running Clogged fuel filter: A clogged filter restricts fuel flow. Fuel injectors: Dirty or malfunctioning injectors disrupt fuel delivery. Fuel pressure: Low fuel pressure can cause the engine to stall. I also think it can be a possible alternator problem but try the first suggestions to know for sure Keep up your head n keep running up your bread 💯
bad alternator the car will run until the battery drops below like 11v. I would know because I had a car with a bad alternator (oil was getting flung in it from a leak) and I drove that thing 30 miles before the battery died
I’m driving my daily route right now and I get this notification. Love to get a video but hate the unfortunate news bro keep your head up you got this. Throw them C’s Up!!
Like your attitude even though you dealing with issues and missing out on the Benjamins . Still you find a way to keep it moving and handle it with a great attitude. Come on Smoke 💨 we need you back on the road, gee to keep them making this money. But y’all got this, still Business as usual. Peace ✌️.
Owning a delivery service myself this is one of my biggest fears..! That is, carrying a customers piece of expensive equipment that their customer is waiting for and breaking down in the middle of nowhere..! On a side note I really wish Toyota would bring the Proace line to the US. Just came from a trip overseas and they're everywhere over there. Great video and Good Luck..!
Hope you get your van fixed sooner then later wow thats is horrible man sorry to hear that plus these dealerships are fishy hope they get it together and return the van back in top condition blessings Jerome!
All Respect. Stay Positive, always! You are an inspiration, just to be real. Ive seen alot complain. I have started with a pick up and utility trailer. What I have learned in 6 months is alot. If you want to win in the end, you got to stay in the game. Be blessed. Stay up!
I hope you can get it fixed quickly. Also, if the check engine light comes on stop driving as quickly as possible so that you don’t make the situation worse. I hope you documented the water issue and everything else that happened before you left the lot.
Man I have been an entrepreneur for a lil over 6 yrs now and I was looking aka researching for another way to bring another stream to the table , I'm definitely going to try this out thank you for the videos I enjoy the content and now it has motivated me to smtry this thank you and continue being Positive and Great 👍 thank you 🗣💪🏾💯
Enjoying the content, great work! Always bringing the positive vibes even when 💩goes sideways, love it! Wish I had some insight for ya, best of luck with the van
Sounds fuel related when you try to start the van. The ignition is turning over and it sounds like you have juice from the battery. (Still need to check everything.)
Hope you get your truck back soon man. Minor set back and lucky you got that warranty. Personally I would've took it to the dealership the first day it started clowning. CCC !!!!! Keep grinding 💪 💯
Going forward ,invest in a decent scanner to see what codes come up , that way you can tell them what the problem is or else they'll keep wasting your time and stringing you along.
Man you gotta be careful with these dealerships they do get a little shady for that money. Put some hidden cameras in your van next time you drop it off for maintenance..
Whenever you change the spark plugs make sure you get a complete tuneup so spark plugs, wires, and distributor/igniton coils. Make sure you also get a oil change every 3K miles faithfully - even if you got to do it yourself. I learn a acronym a long time ago FAST. Fuel Air Spark Timing - check in that order.
Yup another thing that happened to us this week going to pick up a delivery car wouldn’t start had to get a jump and it was messed up since. Took it to the shop and problem after problem it’s there as we type this definitely losing money through all this. Hope everything gets fixed up for you soon. Keep grinding 💰💰💪🏼💪🏼
the heavier duty vans have stiffer suspension than the less heavy models so maybe thats what youre feeling? it also means the mounts for everything is heavier duty so that could be why it feels different shifting wise
I swear there must be something in the air because I was on a roadie run yesterday and got everything loaded up was getting ready to pull out and the truck died. I called my brother so he can bring his truck and called the tow truck. they both show up and we get my brother's truck loaded and then his truck won't start the battery died luckily the tow truck driver was able to jump start his battery and we got the load delivered. Now I'm down $1000 fuel pump and not able to do a lot of work on roadie till it's fixed. Stuff happens you just have to smile and say a prayer it gets better!
it sounds like a fuel problem. replace the fuel filter first. cheap fix. mass airflow sensor could be bad affecting the air gas mixture. cheap fix. MAF is right around/on the air box. just unplug uit and see if runs
Here's a tip. When you bring your car to the mechanic describe to him the problem and let him figure out what the problem is. He will probably charge you for a diagnostic, but that will save you the headache of changing part only to find out that wasn't the problem.
I’m literally getting my car fixed right now lol… alternator need to get fixed which was about $800+ for doing gig work… just the cost of doing business unfortunately keep pushing brother 🫡
Rome why u say 3 of um and only put up 2 fingers man😂😂😂 and when is that cologne dropping, love the videos my guy keep it up and thanks for the motivation to keep going your good spirit helps me to know and learn can't nothing stop us but us respect.
I rented a 2024 ram pro master 3500 from an enterprise it had 2,400 miles on it. When the employee brought me out to the van he tried the push button start and it wouldn't turn over. When I got back with the other rental he gave me he said the dealership picked it up to fix it. Imagine spending 50k on a van and it won't run after 2,400 miles???? Every mechanic friend I have said never buy a sprinter van they see them all the time at the shops they work at and especially don't buy a Mercedes sprinter because the parts to fix them are 4 times more expensive. Good luck brother love your content but I will stick with my old cargo van that has 200k on it and can take 6k lbs. with ease.
The time I had a vehicle that was shaking like that I had to replace the coils and the map sensor. I don't know if that applies to what your driving though.
Good thing those orders weren’t with Dolly because they charge a $50 “relist” fee regardless of your circumstances, no grace whatsoever - Greater DC Metro area
That gas engine in Sprinter is known to have piston ring cracked under heavy load and lose compression and of course will lead to misfires and all kind of funny stuff, hope you got warranty
Wow time for it to go .I drive by the junk yard every once in a while to show and tell it that This is where it's going to end up if it keeps acting up, and it fix it self
More than likely it's some weird electrical issue, Mercedes is notorious for that crap. Especially after you talked about what was going on with the radio, and the seat being wet after you got the van back from the dealership, hinting at possible water damage. Mercedes vehicles use extremely complex sensors and electronics so if any of them get damaged it can cause a whole host of weird issues that sometimes is near impossible to pinpoint. This is why I tell people to stay far away from Mercedes unless you got deeeeep pockets
Brother with the intensity of use you're having, your service interval should be 5,000 miles or less. At the good service center. With full diagnostics each service to see faults. PS no mechanic can diagnose a vehicle via TH-cam video
In my area we don't get on Roadie the high paying orders that I see that you get up there around Chicago I'm down here in East Texas and we definitely don't get dollars to miles. For me it's more about how long is this going to take me and how much am I willing to make per hour in order to accept the job.
They try to finesse you bro. Definitely sounds like you have an electrical issue That is likely covered under warranty and they’re trying to get out of it
EASY FIX ! Problem - Your Dilithium Crystals are out of phase. How To Fix It - Shut down the warp core and reinitialize the harmonics to a variance of .00225 and restart. Done !
no it indicates a problem with the emissions system. O2 sensors can cause a flashing check engine light too. it just means anything that could damage the catalytic converter
Hey brother, it's a minor setback for the major comeback. You got this. I'm rooting for your success. I hope that your van gets fixed ASAP
First of all I'm surprised that the mechanic didn't hook up his computer to check the fault codes before replacing the spark plugs to make sure that was the issue or something else.

I absolutely hate dealing with car dealerships.
Yup learned my lesson too!
You spent $1,400 and didn't get a diagnostic😮 that should have came with it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Bro you should look into buying a second van and get the e-sprinter a second van would keep you afoat .... sounds like it's your lifters

My van just did the same thing. Throttle actuator was my issue
Going forward ,invest in a decent scanner to see what codes come up , that way you can tell them what the problem is or else they'll keep wasting your time and stringing you along.
I was about to say that.
@@vstylesunlimited yup ,you dam near gotta become a mechanic yourself these days lol
Man you gotta be careful with these dealerships they do get a little shady for that money. Put some hidden cameras in your van next time you drop it off for maintenance..
RIGHT! I would never even walk across the parking lot of a dealership. NOPE!
I had my car in the shop and one of the reps tried deleting some of the footage off my cam.
Whenever you change the spark plugs make sure you get a complete tuneup so spark plugs, wires, and distributor/igniton coils.

Sorry for your troubles. Whatever your problem is, it should be covered under warranty. You have not had it that long.

CCCS UP! Hope Smoke is back up and running soon!
Maybe it needs a tune up ! Air filter maybe changed too it’s probably dirty and it’s not letting air get into the engine
It's an alternator bro
The van is broke time to take a toke
😂😂😂
Don’t worry you are blessed brother💪🏼☝️
Here's a tip. When you bring your car to the mechanic describe to him the problem and let him figure out what the problem is. He will probably charge you for a diagnostic, but that will save you the headache of changing part only to find out that wasn't the problem.
CCC- I'm not a mechanic but I hope this gets fixed completely and right!
What about replacing your fuel filter
Sounds Expensive 😂😂😂
bro, they played you. Dont knowbwhovyour mechanic is but he got you.
Just wonder did he put diesel exhaust fluid known DEF? Because I driver sprinter for Amazon
Sprinter's hold their value I'm positive equity like 15k so get it working and trade in 🤷🏼♂️
Sounds like the dealership just wants you to keep coming in to spend your money
Mine did the exact same thing before the tear end went out !
timing and cam phaser
I’m literally getting my car fixed right now lol… alternator need to get fixed which was about $800+ for doing gig work… just the cost of doing business unfortunately keep pushing brother 🫡
Hey buddy your video is too informative. Actually, I want to know that where you do the work in which city
Check the starter
Probably the alternator or the battery or the starter or timing belt etc..etc...
It usually shakes when something missing a gasket. Maybe need to replace gaskets
Mine had a fuel pump recalled and it was done by Mercedes. Iam guessing you had the same issue.
That is a misfire! Did they pull a code for coils?
I deal with this all the time, small things to a giant..... Let's get this money.....
Rome why u say 3 of um and only put up 2 fingers man😂😂😂 and when is that cologne dropping, love the videos my guy keep it up and thanks for the motivation to keep going your good spirit helps me to know and learn can't nothing stop us but us respect.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣 You the only one that caught that. I actually already have the colonge and perfume. I appreciate the support.
@carsandcribs are u going to be selling it or is it just personal.
Buy a NISSAN! Regular oil changes keeps them moving. And of course tires when needed. You're welcome. 😀
Nv2500
'CCC' we still grindin !
Time to get a ford transit!
Starter or alternator
What a bummer

What kinf of cargo van you use.
@@gudlukkay i have a 2002 Ford E350
CCC💯 keep goin
My van camera just did that today I hope things don't go worse
Is this the benz truck u just bought? If so thats crazy
The time I had a vehicle that was shaking like that I had to replace the coils and the map sensor. I don't know if that applies to what your driving though.
It’s the transfer case bro
Dealership sounds like the typical stealership. Hopefully it's just a bad fuel pump. Worse case some electrical problems which can be tricky
Agree, albeit, electrical can be expensive.
Good thing those orders weren’t with Dolly because they charge a $50 “relist” fee regardless of your circumstances, no grace whatsoever - Greater DC Metro area
Run the codes to pin point the issue
Lol,that's obvious or not?
anyone with a brain knows van need a new engine
That gas engine in Sprinter is known to have piston ring cracked under heavy load and lose compression and of course will lead to misfires and all kind of funny stuff, hope you got warranty
Wow time for it to go .I drive by the junk yard every once in a while to show and tell it that
This is where it's going to end up if it keeps acting up, and it fix it self

Maybe Fuel Injectiors. OR Electrical Issue like you saying
Brother with the intensity of use you're having, your service interval should be 5,000 miles or less. At the good service center. With full diagnostics each service to see faults.
PS no mechanic can diagnose a vehicle via TH-cam video
Quick question , is your mileage over 100k? If it’s under that get Endurance extended warranty,
Probly def
Get a "FIXD" diagnostic device. It tells exactly what the code is.
In my area we don't get on Roadie the high paying orders that I see that you get up there around Chicago I'm down here in East Texas and we definitely don't get dollars to miles. For me it's more about how long is this going to take me and how much am I willing to make per hour in order to accept the job.
Sounds like it could be a bad fuel pump, or bad fuel injector....
Can't lie, that kind of sound like a rod knocking, that's the worst case but it's probably a lifter tapping
Spark plug wires...... distributor......battery.........sounds bad...... alternator........one of these
The starter
You don't rent in this situation ?
It could be the blinker fluid it could just be low that’s all
Air filter or throttle body
Bro I drove sprinters for years at my last job. I would never buy a MB sprinter. I would go with the Ram.
They try to finesse you bro. Definitely sounds like you have an electrical issue That is likely covered under warranty and they’re trying to get out of it
I'm a mechanic. What was the codes? On your video, it sounded like a diesel motor??!
Coils or clean injectors
File a complaint against the dealership
Seems like a bad coil pack issue or bad fuel pump
Bro MB dealership always have a problem with the sprinters techs and don't ask about the parts. It be like a month out
Sounds like some finesse is going on .. they shouldn't have did the spark plugs..if it wasn't a problem
EASY FIX ! Problem - Your Dilithium Crystals are out of phase. How To Fix It - Shut down the warp core and reinitialize the harmonics to a variance of .00225 and restart. Done !
Keep an eye on your vehicles, young brother. You may have some HATERS' in sabotage mode.
The flashing check engine light indicates a misfire.
no it indicates a problem with the emissions system. O2 sensors can cause a flashing check engine light too. it just means anything that could damage the catalytic converter
Sounds like your numerator and denominator not in order..
😂
DEF system
Sounds like your cbm. Your computer module that controls all electrical in the van.😢
Yeap I was just about to say the same thing. Happened to me recently 😢
Dirty fuel reason. if there is smoke, enjector seals gone. if not, it is fuel filter stuck. Probably
Spark plugs on a diesel engine ?
Gas sprinter
Oil or gas
