alright, hopefully my 6.2 questions arent getting out of control, this is my first one and i know very little about this engine.
temps around here are like 34 degrees in the morning, when i go to start my truck, the glow plug light cycles, i hear the controller kicking on and off like normal. it has new glow plugs, fuel filter, i/p, fuel pump. i do what the owners manual says...push petal to floor and crank, problem is, it cranks...and cranks...and cranks then kicks over...then cranks and cranks then it finally fires up and smokes like a freight train..just billows clouds of white smoke untill i rev it up a few times. it also clatters alot louder for a while than almost like a switch turning off...the clatter stops...its instantanious. and everything is ok. i'm not sure what to look for..if anything. i read on a HUMMER site that it has a cold start switch on the throttle linkake. anyone know how to test it? and am i just worrying about something that is absolutely normal. i have read on that site that some people have no problems starting theirs at temps below 30 degrees, without it plugged in just by pressing the pedal down, waiting for the light to cycle and turning the key...this however is not the case for me. btw, i do not currently plug my truck in.thanks in advance for the help guys.
