At this point I would run a compression test since it appears you are getting both fuel and glow.

A compression test is not needed, yet = more diagnosis needed first.

What more diagnosis? No one else has been able to come up with any suggestions on either thread besides checking for glow and fuel. I can't think of anything else? Hard start cold and good start hot is indicative of low compression. Good start hot is indicative that there aren't any fuel problems and its getting air so if glow plugs are working, where else to go but to compression?

did not mess with anything else just alda , made sure not to bump any lines . but when it does start up it smoke alot , could the pump be pumping more to injectors and maby injectors are cloged or working improper ? thats the onlything other than compretion i can think cause i took the hard lines off injector pump and am geting good fuel sperts there . or ip timing ?
