i did read in a similar thread not long ago, that the heater could come loose and ground out just enought o cause a no start but not blow the fuse. i think the problem ended up being a bad pcm

if you are sure your battries a fully charged, i would jump the 2big terminals on the glow plug relay for 30 sec, then try it. the white smoke is unburnt fuel
