I've been chasing a suspected air intrusion. After sitting overnight, the engine will turn over, stall quickly and be very hard to restart. Runs rough while the air finishes purging, then idles out and drives great..
The other day while cranking too much and not letting it cool , it shot out a plume of electric smelling smoke... I let it cool and all seemed OK. One wire on the starter solenoid looked a little charred, so maybe that was it. Interesting however is how the glow plugs started acting. Before, they would heat up, then I'd hear the relay repeatedly click. Now, it clicks once and stops. Should I be concerned with this?
