A short update. I went to where the car is parked to get it ready to drive the 30 miles home tomorrow and just to check under the hood again. I put in a freshly charged battery. The glow plug light doesn't seem to work so I just counted to five before cranking her up. Surprise surprise she started right up, just as if she was running yesterday! And the tach started to work again. Thats the good news.

The bad news is the engine is putting out quite a bit of smoke even after letting it warm up for 10 minutes. I didn't notice that when I bought the car. I hope I don't get pulled over by the police. Hopefully it will go away once it's fully warmed up. I looked closer for the puff puff sound and can see and feel with my hand, puffs of air coming from somewhere around the 3rd injector. Fuel is also leaking out around there as well. I'm not familiar with the anatomy of this engine but what do you make of this?
