Cranks, but won't start

Cranks, but won't start
03 Sprinter about 55k
Last week no start dealer diagnosed a bad battery and fuel filter as the problem. I replaced battery and fuel filter and since the truck has started but needed more cranking than normal to start. It started like that all week hot or cold, and ran fine. But this morning was the first start since Friday and it cranks fine but won't start. Seems to have fuel to rail but no start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick

RE: Cranks, but won't start
The only way my Sprinter would not start is if the fuel injectors had a problem. I had a leaky injector and it would make the van do strange things... like CUT OUT for no apparent reason. I am on the lookout for some injectors on eBay. Saw some a week or two ago but can't find any now. UGH!

02 sprinter Hard start
I am not experienced with diesels, just bought an 02 Sprinter it was starting fairly good, but now it has to crank for a bit. I bought a new fuel filter but haven't put it on yet. It has a plastic piece on the filter with an arrow on it and the arrow points toward the back of the truck. To me that doesn't make sense but before I do something I thought I would ask. I see this thread hasn't been very active but I can hope.
