Would a low transmission oil level imitate this sort of tick or click? BTW, what sort of transmission fluid would you suggest using?

I think a cold start miss will go away after purging , mine did and I'm sure my engine is a lot more tired than yours (415,000 km ). If not and the compression is adequate then time to replace injectors

The last time the compression was checked the car had 173K miles and they were at 380, 380, 380, 340 and 295. I do have a little concern about the 295 result though.

Any REPUTABLE Dexron III trans fluid.
My observation of the tick with low trans fluid is an anecdote which may or may not hold up to true mechanical fact.It happened for me. 1 pint will bring the fluid level up one marker-level. 2 pints in a quart.

OK, I tried this but unfortunately it wasn't the problem. I beginning to more and more think that it is an injector (I hope). As soon as I am able to find some diesel purge that I have read about in some of the other threads, I will try cleaning out the injectors that way before tackling the job of removing each one, disassembling and cleaning them as is suggested in the Pindelski site.
One more thing, is it possible for an injector to wear out? Pendelski's site makes me believe that all you have to do is clean them and you only part that you really need to replace is the heat shield. Nothing seems to need to be checked for wear.

I think you can find Diesel purge or Diesel Rx on Ebay.... if you're having a hard time locating some try there.

Ebay...my first choice for parts! As far as the diesel purge, I'm going to try checking some of the local parts stores as there are lots of diesel pick-ups in my area
