1986 300SDL hard start problems...
OK... so let me tell you what I have done already...
In the last couple months, I have...
Replaced ALL 6 glow plugs
The GP Relay
I have done the OVP Relay as it was acting up and was showing all of the symptoms of having some issues with causing the ABS light to come on and the car to idle at 500 rpms...
Some mornings it will start right up, and others it takes 2-4 cranks...
I am running the car on a home brew mixture of WVO and such and am almost 100% sure that is NOT the issue, although I do let the glow plugs go until I hear the relay click off under the hood before I start it up. Yesterday the car started right up, and this morning it took 2 tries to start.
I am wondering if the legacy EGR crap on my car is partly to blame, as EVERYTHING else that has to do with the car starting up has been replaced.
Oh ya... my car has 413K miles on it, and about 6 months ago, I had the head, gasket, etc. replaced/rebuilt...
Please let me know as I was having this problem AFTER the repair, but BEFORE i started running the car on the tripple filtered WVO homebrew...
Thanks
Aaron
