90/7.3 won't start

Quick question, 1990 E350 box van that has sat for about a year. The motor cranks fine, and has fuel pressure, I guess the glow plugs would be the place to start. Any input appreciated.

thanx

ya, glow plugs for sure. 90 so its got the black/brown box with a relay on it. test it and see if it clicks and stays on for a while (10+ seconds optimal) then you should be good. if you wanna see if it will run before you spend your time, you can do a quick quick spray of starting fluid. it will fire without glow plugs with that. if it runs then your good and know its a glow plug issue. lucky *******, you can just lift off the cover and easily get to the controller while inside the cab.
