I dont see how adjusting the valves would do anything. The car runs fine once it starts. Once it starts it immediatly finds a nice idle speed and on the road it accelerates fine and shifts fine. If it were the valves when the engine does start and is not at temperature it would idle rough right? This is why I feel that is an electracal problem I have not checked the voltage @ the glow plugs as I dont have an voltmeter. The big fuse for the glow plug relay is obviously new and unbroken. If i am getting power at the glow plugs..with new glow plugs...they should be glowing red hot. If i was not gett ing 12 volts at the g. p., what would be the cause? thanks, stephen
