Hi Jay,
Have you checked your glowplugs to make =
sure
they're not burned out? Mine gradually got harder to start, as one by =
one, the
glowplugs died and then it was really difficult to start when cold, but =
ok when
hot.
you disconnect the wire to them and =
measure them
(individually) with an ohmmeter. Place one lead of the meter to the =
engine
block near the plug, and the other on the plug terminal. Basically they =
will
look like a very low resistance, about 2 or 3 ohms. If they're =
burned out,
there will be no deflection of the meter needle, they will be open
circuit.
