If I am correct, don't most reputable diesel places put an additive in their diesel just for these occasions? To tell you the truth...I got my diesel at a "no name place" the night before....could this be the reason for my weird starting? I've went here before. this never happened when I went to Mobil or Exxon. Weird if you ask me. Anyhow, Ill try waiting after the glow plugs go out. I always was under the impression that when the light goes out the glow plugs are off. Waiting longer may help. I know my compression is good: its obvious (would be noticeable decrease in my pwoer...especially in a 240!) I can cruise at 60-65 without effort, and 70-75 with a little more strain. Prolly just didn't wait. long enough. Ill keep you guys posted after tommorow. Also, you think I should use the plug my vehicle is equipped with? If so, should 2 hours of block heating do it?
