thanks all for all the suggestions. to clarafy, the previous owner was already using starting fluid to start as the hard starting problem was inhereted from the previous owner. yes I should know better than to use sf however I did try to minimize any damage by letting the auto glow plug relay to stop heating and let the glow plugs cool before attempting to start. When I changed the fuel filter I filled it with diesel fuel and let sit,refilled it and then had my son crake it over and I craked the the line going to the IP till I a steady flow of diesel. I have heard that if the return lines are leaking, they can introduce air into the system and then the IP cannot develop enough presure to off seat the Injectors. I just got some Vitro o-rings for the injectors and some bio-diesel compatable hose from a local parker seal dealer and will replace both this weekend. btw, when I changed the GP's half did not work when hooked up to 12V 4 did so left those and replaced the bad ones. cdnsarguy, I did't releaze there was a check valve in the tank. will check that also. crossbones2 will also try your suggestions. thanks agan
