I turn the key on, hit the pedal one time to set the high idle, wait for WTS and start, no problems even in low negative weather, holding the pedal half way down only shortens the life of the motor.
I would say you have air intrusion and pumping the pedal makes you feel good.
Tomorrow morning (or after it's been setting 12 hours or so), Pull the fuel filter and see if it's completely full of fuel, if not install a Injector Installation Kit.
-Enjoy

these rigs are not carbureted,so pumping the skinny isn't going to send any more fuel.you can pump the peddle if you want for the exercise lol.
you need to check for air intrusion,and test the glow plug system,along with first inspecting the starting system;cables/terminals/batteries/stater etc.
did you check the top threads yet Kurt about testing GP's etc? having a full set of 8 working Beru's is a must.

How much faster does it start with pumping the pedal? Pushing the pedal down will give more fule during cranking if the IP is pumping fule and not air and also will help get air out faster. The reson the manual tells you to hold it half way cold all the way below 0 is to advance the timming. Also how does it start when the engine is warm? Festus how do you figure holding the pedal down hurts the engine?

*** Glow Plug Test. ***
Test light test of the glow plugs:
- Unplug the Glow Plugs.
- Attach one end of a test light to 12v+ battery.
- Touch the other end to the terminal on the end of the Glow Plug (where you unplugged the harness)
Does it light up?- Yes, Chances are it's good.
- No, Replace with Motorcraft/Beru ZD1A for 83-86, ZD9 for 87-94.5.
To do a positive test use a volt/ohm meter and test the ohms between the terminal and base. Should be .5 to 1 ohm resistance.
