Let's see how good you all are. FIist correct reply wins a FREE Puccini coffee (must be collected in Washington, D.C.) 1985 300CD. For the past week we plugged in the block heater and the car started instantly and perfectly in gtemps. as low as 10 degrees F. Yesterday, the alley was iced up so we had to park on the street overnight, with no way to plug in the block heater. Temp. was 17 degrees this AM with a wind chill of maybe 5. We glowed and kept glowing 10 seconds after the light went out. Engine turned but would not fire. Tried twice more, using the gas pedal, but to no avail! I had her pop the hood and try a fourth time while I watched - still turned but no dice. Battery was strong, fortunately. I stared at the engine, thought deeply and then fiddled with something in the engine area. I then myself tried to start it again using the same preglow procedure. This time the engine fired instantly and ran flawlessly. Question: What exactly did I do under the hood? Hint: I have never done this before or heard of this tactic being used as a technique for getting a balky diesel to start in cold weather. This doesn't prove or mean anything but then again, it might. Good luck, and apologies in advance if this puzzler is wya too elementary and an insult to the collective Okiebenz intelligence.
