delivery valve function/ affecting the injection?

Hello,
Just wondering, I was on 10% diesel and the rest on WVO and the car took 3 second to start today, too long. But when it fired up, it was not on all six? The engine was wobbling...
I started 2 times, same story. One or more cylinder was not firing.
I let the engine rest for 30 minutes, tried again, all good.
I was thinking it might be the delivery valves ( after all they are 100,000 old, or missing some compression in one pod or both.
Any imputs?
I'm back now to 15 % dino, tomorrow will tell.
Thank you.
Olivier
