Fuel quality and moisture in certain diesel fuels may cause some vehicles to exhibit a no start, gradual loss of power, or a rough idle condition due to fuel gelling during extreme cold weather operation.

    You have some of the injectors that are bad Just had the same problem. Replace all glow plugs and controler check high presure oil pump and injectors and then replaced injectors and now it starts even though the injectors checked good. When heater is not plugged in it would try to start but not the ex. would blow black smoke then plugged it in for 3 or 4 hours and would start up. do the injectors save the greif of plugging it in.

I have a 1994 f 350 turbo diesel IDI when I try to

Don't just keep cranking if it don't start right away' Give the starter a break. It's getting hot because you just keep cranking on it. Any vehicle diesel has glow plugs to heat the fuel chamber to make it start fast. Be sure you are making use of the glow plugs and it will start fast. If your glow plugs are not working, find out why. Could be just the glow plug relay or connection to it. Or possibly the glow plugs are burned out. Either way, you HAVE to have glow plugs in use on a diesel upon initial start up till it's warmed up. Then will start without them. Most are automated system. You just have to wait till the glow plug light goes out to start cranking on it. I hope this helps you to more understand the workings of a diesel cold start system.

Mazda E2500 diesel . Hard to start when cold. Have checked fuse. Relay sounds like it is clicking in. Van is a 2004 done 145000 kmc

Hello Hugh, You need to check the voltage at the glow plugs.. Just because you hear the relay clicking does not mean it is working properly.

Have an 03 Dodge 3500 diesel that will not start when the temperature is cold. Will start fine if plugged in overnite. Unable to drive to work when cold due to this problem. Have replaced relay sensor,...

I suggest you check that the glow plugs are working as a cold diesel needs the glow plugs to initially ignite the fuel spray in the combustion chambers

We think it is the diesel injection pump but not sure

Sounds like not all the glow plugs are working.It should run fairly smooth on a cold start if all of the glow plugs are working..Also you shouldn't drive off on a cold start with a diesel,Its really hard on the motors..At least give them 10 to 15 min on a cold start..The oil in them is a really thick oil and when there drove on a cold start theres no oil lubricating the internal parts and will cause the motor to seize up..You may already no this and dont mean you drive it as soon as you start it i just wanted to let you know..When you get alot of white smoke it could be two things,Theres water in the fuel which will make it not have much power die and smoke..But if it runs fine when its warm theres some bad glow plugs...Hope this helps you and have a great day

I have a 1994 2.8ltr Diesel (4M40 Mtr), Delica, that conks out

try changing all the heater plugs there are warn out by now,,if it realy dont like starting up on cold days do what i do,,, give it twice the heat up time,,,,,
turn on the kye wate till the heater light go's out then quikly switch it off and turn it back on for a re-heat before trying to start it up,,,also try changing the glow plug heater relay,, it should hold the glow plug heaters on for about 30 seconds after the light has gone off even if the engen has started and is running
but i bet its not doing this? giving twice the heat takes less out the battery than cranking it over and your not wearing out the starter as well?
doing this to my old girl gets her going every time!!!!!

Turbo diesel, cranks but does not start when it is cold.

Have the cold start valve replaced, it enriches the fuel mix during cold start and check the glow plugs and see if any are bad, to test remove the wires and put test meter to ohms and one by one test each glow plug with one probe to ground and one on the tip of the glow plug see it it goes close to zero if it does not move then that glow plug is bad, replace all that you find bad.
