Let the starter rest for a minute or so between cranks.

And I'm confused... there was smoke coming out of the glow plug relay but you can't find the glow plug relay?

Well we did alot of cranking and let the car catch its breath then cranked more but like i said it would go idle rough we try to rev it and it gives out...

i know where the glow plug relay box is thanks to dieselgiant.com but i dont know where the fuse is located.

I know it was the go relay box that smoked.

The 300SD i sold to my friend runs, but once that part comes in to fix the car its gone and i have no ride to work

so i need my 300D to start.
