Kinda stranded - Won't start - Suggestions?

[snelson]

Hey guys,
3 years of flawless starting for my deli, but today she just won't catch.
This morning had the block heater in, and I noticed it didn't start quite as smoothly as normal for a mild day like today.
Drove to work no problems, then after work, lots of cranking just won't catch.

If my glow plugs are pooched (even just one plug), on a mildish day like today, would that stop her from starting?
I figured if I cranked long enough it would catch but no dice.

Wife is driving here now with my tools and some fresh glow plugs - anything else I can check?
I gave the fule plunger a few 'plunges' but that didn't help.
Again, crangs over with lots of power but just won't fire.....
Sugggestions?

My L400 is an absolute pig to start with just one dead plug.

Starts first crank when they're all good. I think ur on the right track!
