I bought a 85 ford 250 4x4 diesel, automatic, last week. I drove it home, and was feeling pretty good about it, because it ran well, shifted well, and handled good. The next morning it wouldn't start, but cranked over ok. Now here comes the confession! I have never owned or worked on anything Diesel, and don't know diddly squat, about them. It seems to be getting air in the filter when it sits, and has no fuel getting thru. I put a pump on, thinking that it was bad, but it still gets air in the filter, and won't start unless, I give it a shot of starter fluid. then it runs well except some surging .
