Check the power to the glow plugs with a volt meter
When you start it with ether get it warm and pull the valve cover vent, if it smokes like a train then you have serious blowby.
Injectors last only about 100K, bad ones will weep or open late.
Any decent garage can amp test your starter and battery while cranking, could be either one or just a bad ground.

glow plugs checked
will check the smoke
**should i pull the injectors and get them tested? would the car still run normally after warming up if the injectors are bad?
i will call some garages first thing in the morning. just the thought of not messing with those two bolts is making me relax.
also will check my ground connections
thanks to all for suggestion
