I'm having trouble cold starting a mid 80's 6.2 Diesel. I know the majority of cold start problems have to do with the glow plugs and/or circuitry.
The truck owner put glow plugs in a few months ago and the light stays on a good 10 seconds so I believe the system is functioning properly however I have not checked the system otherwise. What should a good plug ohm out at? And what voltage should be going to it?
When cold cranking it acts like it has lost it's fuel prime, it tries to run but its hard to get it to stay running. I have installed an electric fuel pump that was no help. After it decides to run it runs good until it has the opportunity to sit for half a day then the whole process starts over, dont see any major fuel leaks, engine oil is not overfull, the pump solenoid is getting power.
Also he had the injectors and injection pump rebuilt about 2 months ago. If I can get some glow plug info I'm going to look at again tomorrow and probably do a compression test as well. Thanks for any help or ideas
