Okay, about a week ago the car took a bit of cranking to get it going. Before that, it was always a 5-10 and boom, it was cranked and ready to go. At that time my glow plug light started to flash. It would flash for at least a minute. The temps were around 55-70 at that time.

Now, it won't start at all. I checked the gp relay. The #3 wasn't working. I turned the gp's on. Checked the plug and #3 wasn't working...okay, I figured I need to change the plug. I go and get a bosch gp and install it today. I let it go through two cycles of warming up and let it crank for 15 to 30 seconds. Nothing doing...the car won't start. I tried letting it crank for 45 seconds and still nothing. I don't have a block heater on this one and I am going to go and get a kit from Diesel Giant.

When I crank I can see white smoke coming out of the exhaust. I think my injector is fine and my timing chain is fine. I need to do a valve adjustment.

ANY IDEAS?
