do that and it should improve your cold stating
check your overboost protection system.
check the boost pressure at the ALDA and intake (could be a plugged line)

I haven't yet read about rebuilding injectors. I'll look into it. I have experience with improved injectors (gasser) on my E30. I put in the next-gen injectors, rebuilt professionally, 4 ports instead of one, better atomization - wow, noticeable power increase and it was already fast.
Will have glow plugs in the mail soon. Need to read up on reaming the carbon.
Tonight I looked at the ALDA. I'm embarrassed I didn't notice it sooner. I don't think my mechanic buddy saw it either. The line not clogged but broke:
Don't think I did it while working on the engine. I was never in that vicinity. The banjo bolt is plenty clean. I'll need new line, not going to slide over this fitting.
I have a mighty vac vacuum pump. Is that useful for checking the ALDA? Or is the pressure the wrong way?
