Cranks, but won't start

[WhoIsTheKuhn]

When I try to start the engine, it turns over, but wont catch. If I use starting fluid, it will start up. Once the engine has been running, it can sit for a couple of hours and starts up, but around 8 to 10 hours I have to use starting fluid. I'm thinking its the glow plugs, but I'm pretty new to fixing vehicles myself. Any ideas?

Try glow plug relay first. Do it soon. Starting fluid is a no no

thanks for the help! Still trying to figure out exactly how to do the relay test, I guess I'll mess around with it if I get out of work early and the weather holds off.

Try to turn the key on ...when the WTS light goes off do it again ....three time total and see if it helps. this works for mine,she is old so i have to get the cylinders real hot to start her.

Replaced the glow plugs, fuel filter, and poured in some injector cleaner. Now she starts like a champ! Thanks for the advice!
