Having issues starting in 60-70 degree weather
Having issues starting in 60-70 degree weather
Also I have been noticing that there is a lot more black smoke coming out the exhaust since I have replace the whole exhaust with 3" pipe from the turbo back. Is this common with replacing the exhaust.
No modifications, that I am aware of, have been done to the IP or ALDA.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have been having a bit of a problem here as of late. When I go to start my car it acts like it wants to start but will not do anything unless u give it a bit of throttle. It only acts like this when the temp starts cooling down outside. I need to replace my fuel filters as it seems to skip a bit at first then it evens out. I am pretty sure the glow plugs are good as I pulled them out a few months ago since it wouldnt start in the summer heat(odd). They looked good. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the glow plug relay or controller is having issues. I doubt its my battery as I just replaced it with a new Optima red top.

adjust the valves.
visual inspection of the glowpugs does not tell you much.
you need to test them either by voltage drop / resistance or a bench test using applied current.
Other than that, take care of your regular maintenance items, as you have implied.
