starting problems
I have a 95 powerstoke with 183,xxx miles on it.. It is hard starting on days that are a little cool without being plugged in.. I have replace the glow plugs and relay but still having problems... Any other suggestions on what the problem could be??

Plugging it in warms the oil, the injectors are fired by oil so thick oil will delay the poppet from opening fast retarding the timing. The clearances under the poppet are more than likely wore out. Could be part of the problem. Also you could have a plunger issue in the injector causing poor atomization.

So what are the results of the tests with the new glow plugs and relay? Specifically:
* Voltage drop of the contact circuit while energized
* Resistance of each plug, measured at the UVCH connection
* Continuity of wiring between the relay and the UVCHs
