Diesel engine *COLD START* problem:
The sole purpose of the glow plugs is to aid in starting a COLD Diesel engine .. Since the engine is starting ok after it warms up - Strongly suspect the glow plugs are NOT operating correctly - after engine 'cold soak' (parked overnight) - the COLD start problem returns ..
The BEST thing to do is have a *professional scan test* performed so glow plug operation can be checked - also a functional test can be performed using same professional quality scan tool.
