Stumped

No Start Issue

I Have A 1996 250 2wd I Had To Replace The Cps And Glow Plug Selnoid. 10 Days Later No Start Lots Of White Smoke. I Had To Start It With Either, Not Good I Know. Now If I Don't Plug It In At Night It Won't Start Even When It Was 72 Degrees Out. Once It's Started No Problems. The Voltmeter Stays Low For A Few Minutes After It Is Started. So If I Can't Plug It In I Am Stuck. The Truck Is Bone Stock Running On B20 Biodiesel. Any Help Would Be Great.

Maybe Marc or one of the techs will see this in a few. Hope you get it figured out.


Cheap plug, check out the NC section if you have not already

Wish I was at home, I have a thread I saved that was this very topic!

Marc, stroketechintraining, or DJ's diesel will be able to assist. I have an idea but can't tell you from expierience so I'll leave this one be!

Where abouts in North Carolina are you located??

[malton4930]

I am located in Hickory NC. And again it was 48 degrees last night and no start without the spray. So I have got to find the problem out soon.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance

Sorry, can't help you in person, I am about 5 hours east of you.

comon, stroketechintraining where are you??

It is normal for the volt meter to read low after starting, while the glow-plugs run their 90 second cycle. Have you replaced the plugs?
