starting issue

Hello all, I have a 1988 f350 with a 7.3 idi in it, 97xxx miles on it, have replaced glow plugs, controller, ip, and the fuel filter, but its still giving me one hell of a time starting, I hear the relay cycling, but it will spudder a couple times then fire up like crap then clear, there was one of my gp connectors that was kind of busted, could that be the issue, thanks
