You have some serious fuel system cleaning ahead of you. I recommend the Kent Bergma videos on "resurrecting the 6.3" or whatever his series is. It covers a lot of fuel system cleaning and I've applied most of that to my 300SE M189 fuel system (including injectors and injection pump) and now it is running (sort of).
