Just wanted to update back that the problem has been solved. After a week of trying to start it every night after work, I finally got it going last night. I put in five brand new glow plugs 2 weeks ago, so I just assumed they were good, the light was coming on and everything... While the fuel did gel, the end all reason it couldnt start was that 3 out of the 5 brand new glow plugs were completely dead and one of the remaining 2 had about 4 times the normal resistance, so it was basically dead too. I could literally see the gelled fuel last tuesday, but who knows whether it would have started or not had I had 5 functioning glow plugs. I put the old glow plugs back in, and it fired right up. I can not stress enough to anyone replacing their glow plugs, under no circumstance should you even remotely consider using Autolite glow plugs. They were the only thing in stock when I was buying new ones 2 weeks ago, and they cost me big time, 5 says in the parking garage ran me up about 80 bucks...
