Tried to do some last minute shopping Thursday and she wouldn't fire up
without some very extended cranking.
It's very rare for it to take more than a few revolutions of the
engine. So I replaced all of the Glow Plugs just in case, but it didn't
help.
I don't think it is the Glow Plug Relay because it usually tries to
start after cranking for 10-15 seconds, but this time I am getting
nothing! It's not trying to start at all. Saturday before I changed
the GPs, I got it to start by cranking it. It started firing on 2 then
three and finally it was on 4 and 5 I think.
BTW, I did a Oil Analysis on it last year and all the numbers came out
exactly where they should be. Very low metal contamination, no water
content and almost no fuel content. Also, the fuel mileage has stayed
stable at 30 mpg +/- 2 mpg.
I will test the Relay tomorrow just in case. *Any ideas?*
Thanks,
