Assuming all filters and caps are oem the first things to check in my op. would be glow plug operation and ficm voltage. What state are your batterys and alt. in? Do the simple things first and quite often you will hit the jackpot.

If you think it's stiction, try some archoil 9100 fuel additive to see if that fixes it.
Cheapest scanner is Torque for android or dashboss for iphone. Buy a good bluetooth obdii from eBay. Tidal cost is $20. I think it's easier than scan guage, and comparable.

Oh yeah, and get set up with some type of monitoring system, it's critical and will save you bux. If you have a smartphone it's Torque Pro for Droids or DashBoss for Apples (or maybe it's a good time to get a smartphone), or next would be scangauge II -- lots of expertise here on all three...
