Stuck no start emergency

[scpbmxer01]

It's about 20 out and my truck won't start any ideas what will help me get it started. ?

[96whitehouse]

there hasn't been anything wrong with it right, its just not starting in the cold

[scpbmxer01]

yes I don't livewhere it gets this cold and I came out and it turns over and puffs lots of white smoke. It tries to fire but dies

[96whitehouse]

how many time have you tried to start the truck? how many times did you let the wait to start to go off before you tried to start. my 97 does the same thing in the cold if i dont plug it in some time i have to turn it over for bout 5-10sec and let it set for bout 20-30secs and try it again, an again then it will start an cover about an acre of land in white smoke but its normal it happens try that if that don't work let me know but if not your glow plugs many be bad, or gpr

I will try that when I go back it's slowly warming up it smokes lots I waited everytime to let it warm up. I replaced my gpr about 6 months ago.

when you changed your gpr did you check you gp by chance

[OregonStroker]

make sure your GP's are actually turning on. I had a similar issue where my PCM stopped sending a signal to the GPR. So, I had to rig up a custom GP switch. Let me know if you figure it out. Otherwise I will hook you up with the diagram and parts list. A few on this sight have adopted my design, works great. And your GP's dont turn on when you turn the key to listen to music.

really that awsome can i get it just in case that happens to mine i didn't even think about the pcm has to send the signal thanks for the reminder bud

Soak a rag with some gasoline and put it over the air intake. Crank it up and remove rag.

I didn't check my gp I am out of town till Monday racing I will check my gp when I get home as will see if it starts when it warms up. I'll have to find a place to plug it in tonight.
