I have a Toyota diesel which starts = well now that I have learned its little idiosycrasies...

I turn it over, then wait 5 seconds. If = its cold, I'll press the glow plug button during that 5 secs. Then I turn it over = again, and it always starts the second time it turns over.

I don't know why, but it always works = that way.

BTW if you press the glow plug button = for too long, it's easy to burn out the plugs. I burned out all 4 of mine, made it = devilish hard to start in cold weather. You can easily check them by = disconnecting them and measuring their resistance with an ohm meter. Should be low, around = 2 or 3 ohms. A dead one measures open circuit.
