tried it again and nothing - this time I noticed the Dash GP Light is
not coming on at all but I know it used to. I haven't been the primary
driver lately so I haven't been watching the dash lights..
When I finally got it started (when this first started) I do recall the
dash light being on after I got it running. At the time I dismissed it -
But I suspect you are saying because the dash light was on when the
engine was running it indicates a bad GP Warming Relay, right?
Thanks!

Is the light coming on? Do you hear the relay click on and off?

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?*
