Simple solution this time, a couple hours on the block heater
and it was willing to start and run just fine.
We all get a harder to get going when its cold as we get older.
It could still indicate problem in the glow plug circuit, I can double
check that. Needing a certain amount of heat in the system either warm
block or the glow plugs.
thanks
