DURING ENGINE START, AFTER THE START LEVER RAISED AND LIGHTOFF, THERE WAS AN EXHAUST ODOR THROUGHOUT THE CABIN AND FLIGHTDECK. BOTH PACKS WERE CONFIRMED OFF.  NR 2 MAX MOTORING WAS ACHIEVED 25% N2,  BUT SPIN UP WAS NOTABLY SLOWER THAN NR 1. THE ODOR DISSIPATING QUICKLY AFTER THE RT PACK WAS TURNED ON. THERE WERE NO OTHER AIRCRAFT ANYWHERE NEAR US.  ACFT GROUNDED.  DURING INITIAL EVALUATION FOUND THAT THE NR 1 & 2 ENGINES MOTOR SLOWLY WITH LOW DUCT PRESSURE INTERMITTENTLY.  THE RT PACK VALVE WAS FOUND TO INTERMITTENTLY NOT GO TO THE OFF POSITION AFTER CYCLING THE PACK.  R & R THE RT PACK FLOW CONTROL AND SHUTOFF VALVE, PACK VALVE OPERATES NORMALLY IAW AMM 21-51-01-000-805-002 AND 21-51-01-400-802-002.
