Hard Start please help

I REMOVED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND CLEANED IT. I HAD THE INJECTORS CALIBRATED AND CHANGED ALL THE GLOW PLUGS. IT RAN WELL FOR A WEEK BUT NOW IT IS VERY HARD TO START THE CAR. IT TAKES A FEW TRIES, IN THE MORNING OR ONCE THE CAR GETS A LITTLE COLD. WHERE DO I LOOK.? I RECHECKED THE GLOW PLUGS WITH AN OHM METER, THEY ARE OK. PLEASE HELP

.

Well I'm just going on what I've learned here, but you need compression, fuel, battery/starter, and glow plugs all working together to get the car to start. You should list what car you are talking about and you should turn off your caps lock. You can do searches on those areas that need to be checked for more detailed information.

I find that the shutoff/ stop valve sticks in the stop position even with the vacuume hose pulled off, I have tried lubricating with no luck. Any suggestions?
