i got this car about two months ago and a valve job is on the list. I have a slight leak at the valve cover gasket so i was planning on adjusting the valves when I changed that out. That still wouldn't explain why it was starting perfect then not starting unless the temps were in the 70. I can't figure it out. There has to be another gp that is not working. I am going to check them again this afternoon. I can't figure out anything else that would effect it.

I thought that I might have let some air into the fuel line so I also primed the fuel and have virtually no air in the system. THe prefilter looks completely full. The prefilter looks clean. I did a diesel purge after getting the car. Perhaps it needs another spin on? Would the spin on cause it to not be able to start?
