strange no start issue

[TheDon]

I just got home from work and had an issue starting.

I went to let her glow and.. the glow plug light did not come on. Nothing new, sometimes it comes on sometimes it doesnt. I go to crank and nothing... no turning over, just cranking.. So I let the starter rest and try again.. nothing.

Frustrated I pop the hood and test the fuel system to see if it still has prime. It does. Sometimes she loses prime if I have a low tank and am on an upward incline( both were in play). I checked the glow plug relay fuse and it was fine.

So I mess with cranking and resting for 3 more cycles and then she finally fires up... seriosuly.. wtf?

She started up just fine this morning in 60F on the second turn. I am going to adjust the valves again today to make sure they did not get tight since last week.


Another issue I have is when ever I come home and park the car idles like crap.It idles fine in traffic and when I start but when ever I hit the little culvert/drain it acts up.

All this before the gtg!!!

I'll use my new volt meter and test the plugs too



another thing that could be an issue is maybe a vacuum line to the shut off valve worked its way loose or something. But she shuts down just fine
