stop lever stopping my car from starting?

Last Sunday I completed my glow plugs and delivery seal job. I thought it went well, but the car now takes longer to start. The glow light comes on as it should, and I've pulled the purple striped wire out of the harness so I have the afterglow setup. 3 times since I've done the procedure, the car wouildn't start. Sometimes it would almost cath, or it would run for about 5 seconds at 300 rpms before it would stall. To fix this, I popped the hood and saw the stop lever was down to the point it was past the top of the delivery valves. So I pushed it back up to the normal position and it started right up! Well, I picked my g/f up (the car was then turned off), then we went to the movie, started fine leaving her house and the theater. Since the movie was sold out we went to a rental place and when we came out the car wouldn't start. Popped the hood, and the stop lever was down again, what gives? I have to take this car to Colombus the first weekend of March and I don't want to have to worry about potential problems.

Thanks
David
