I've recently started having some serious starting issues with my CUCV.
The issue is that when starting the engine will initially turn over and briefly run and then die. It then takes about two attempts with about 30sec cranking cycles to get the engine to catch and run.
I'm really not sure what causes this. I initially solved it with a new fuel filter, that stopped the issue for about a year. So when the issue came back I replaced the filter again but this time it didn't work.
I think the glow plugs are partially responsible as the ones I pulled looked like someone torched them. But the problem is the glow plugs I can get are too big to plug into the glow plug harness as the tabs are rectangular instead of pointed.
Sorry for the text dump but I want to hear your advice on the starting issue and what you would do about the glow plugs.
Thanks a lot
