Thanks for all the responses so far. Have not had time to do much with the car doing 12 hour days this week

Ive been able to get the car to start with my trusty wd-40 each time I need to go to and from work. It will get me by till I have troubleshooting time this weekend.

Im assuming its the glowplugs from the responses. When the car would not start, I had already taken off the return line and the primer pump pushes out fuel every pump. Also I already replaced the primer pump last year so im pretty sure its working correctly.

As for the valves, they were done less than 10,000 miles ago so it should not cause the car to start fine one day and then not at all the next.

I also wonder if its bad diesel tho.... because this did happen the day after a fillup. The strange thing is that once the car is heated up it starts right up. If it was bad fuel, seems like it still would not start up even when warmed up would it?
