Just went out and started my truck ( first time in about a week ) I know its kinda warm out, glow plugs stayed on for about 10 sec. hit the key and she spun over about 6 to 7 times before firing. Whats yours doing? I've read on this forum that even with the glowplugs working proberly they can still take a few spins before firing off, it's the way the heads are desinged and the way the glowplug seats in them. I know i have a air intrusion somewhere on mine ( Havent had the time to look ) But i think that that aint a bad starting time,,, how many spins before you fire off? I think sootman asked you the question if you have any smoke coming from the tailpipe,,, i think he is meaning when your cranking it over before it start's. Mine idle's rough for about a minute after starting then smooth's right out
