Cold Starting Problem
Is There Anything Besides Glow Plugs That Can Cause Cold Starting Problems? How Do You Check Glow Plugs? Does My 1996 F-250 P.s. Have Any Type Of Fuel Heater? Thanks For Any And All Help.

Howdy,
If the timing is retarded too far (only a few degrees) it absolutely won't start. And it it's only retarded a little, but the automatic timing advance is not working, it won't start either.

I am having similar problems as you are. I have put in new glow plugs, relay, temp sender, batteries, and still no cold start. I am currently checking on some other ideas that a IH mechanic buddy told me about. Check in with me in a couple of days and I may be able to help.

You could ask for your money back, waiting 25 hours, 18 minutes is way too long of a wait for the advice you need. OR, Perhaps you should have fixed last month...the first time you posted the same symptoms https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...-starting.html . Maybe I'll follow your lead and slow down, do nothing until it's an emergency, then expect others to drop everything just to help you out.
The SEARCH feature would have givien you all the info you need. There are many, many posts on this subject.
