Could be fuel. If I remember correctly this is a WVO car so all bets are off, could be anything. |
Strange but some engines want a little glow plug activity even when hot. I have not found those engines to be particularily low on compresion either.
Otherwise you crank and crank to get it going. Then there are some engines that will not start with only one glow plug out or with great difficulty. Some with two plugs out just refuse to start period. No fixed standards exist.
