What I'm going to mention is not a problem it's more I'm trying to understand what is happening when I accidently leave the key in the on positon beyond the time the glow plugs need to be on to start. What happens is I am rushing around sometimes and have reached in and turned on the ignition (to heat the glow plugs for starting) and I get distracted and leave ignition on for a couple of minutes by mistake (have a new controller card in there). Know it's not good for glow plugs probably but the couple of times I did this it then starts like it's flooded and even smokes like it was. Takes a bit of cranking also. After it's run it's all fine and starts great later as long as I don't screw up again. Basically just wondering what would be happening that would cause the hard starting. Like to understand what else besides the plugs getting to hot would cause that or could real hot plugs cause it. Like I say not a problem just trying to understand. Stan
