Please help!!

I have two diesels, a 1995 E300, and a 1987 300D, lately my E300 has been giving me difficulties. She starts in the morning for about 2 min sputter then dies, it seems as if the diesel isn't flowing through. The dealership has no clue, hope someone can help.

Does it idle rough during those first 2 minutes?

And whats the conditions (weather) the car is in when you go to start it?

Also what all did the dealership check when you brought it in.

I told her that if the glow plugs checked out that it's possibly a clogged injector that could be a result of crappy fuel.

I recommended she try out a Diesel Fuel Additive for a few tanks and if the problem still persists tell the dealership to look at the Injectors.
