That's not the issue here. If it were gelled fuel, the problem would not go away so quickly after such a short time. I'm wondering if this is more like delivery valve seals....

Seems like I heard that 20F is when diesel begins to gell. May depend on winter or summer fuel.

This morning was the coldest so far that I have started the SDL at about 20F. I have to glow for about 20-30 seconds to get a smooth idle (no missing) right after start. Once the oil pressure pegs out, I put the car in gear and go. But "go" is really creeping forward at an idle with the throttle to the floor. After about 20-30 seconds of this, it will suddenly have normal SDL acceleration. What is the issue here? TIA all,
