Answer Hello Kim,
Is the glow plug controller working? And more importantly, if it is clicking, have you checked for voltage on the glow plug side of it?
With the glow plugs disconnected, will it start on either?
Are you using the correct engine oil in it, with NO additives? The injectors use high pressurized engine oil to operate the injectors.
I just last week needed an injector control module replaced. Mine would start, but have absolutely no response to the throttle for about twenty seconds, then gradually increase to normal....every day.
