likely to compensate for a worn out ip or incorrect timing i would think (kinda go hand in hand anyway.)
his problem will likely just keep getting worse until he does a tune up.eventually the glow time needed when warm,will no longer work.
did he mention miles on the ip,or loss in fuel economy/performance?

Bad Warm Starts
Have you tried adding a few liters of diesel additive for a month or two. It is a long shot, but some IP's manage to recover if they got gummed up.
Overall, I am afraid your IP is the most likely source of your troubles.
Good luck,

his GP system problem while hot only was interesting,but GP's are not needed for an easy start when warm anyway.
likely a poor ip build or poor rebuild.- often new parts sadly, can just be bad.

i would have sent the pump back and demanded another,after it was timed of course (not just ballpark by ear) and still had the same problem.

Well, the ol girl has learned a new truck. she'll start great cold, even better than some PSD's, but drive a good 30 miles and grab a bite to eat and its a good solid 30 seconds (not continuous) of cranking to refire.
What the hell is this?
