Kinda stranded - Won't start - Suggestions?
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2011 5:26 pm
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?
