No start
I got a problem with my truck not starting. On the first turn it starts and then immediately cuts off. Then on the second and third attemts it will not start at all. Just cranks...under the hood there seems to be a smell of fuel or plastic. Any ideas thanks.

I said it's probably the GPCM, but it could also be the glow plugs. You might put your scan tool on it as I think the module will set a code for bad plugs. Somebody would need to confirm that.

Well, Mike, is that a different problem then what you were having earlier, right? Sounds like it, but yes as Scott said, the GP's not getting the cylinders warm would cause it to die that soon after firing up.
BTW any issues with no starter engagement since your visit to BTS?
