Toyota townace diesel hard starts

SOURCE: Hard Start Toyota Landcruiser HZJ75

two first things to check fuel and spark ...fuel make sure your fuel pump is working its messy but the easiest way is to pull the fuel line "only one connection" and turn key to on then press gas pedal and gas should pump out if not fuel pump is bad... if thats not it you want to check for spark easiest way is to pull one of the spark plug wires and stick a screwdriver in the end then hold the screwdriver to where the metal shank is approx. 1/4" away from any metal surface ... hold the screwdriver without touching the metal shank!!! have someone crank the engine you should see a spark intermittently between the screwdriver and the metal youre holding it close to.. if thats ok the only other thing i can suggest is get a battery with more cca "cold cranking amps"..hope this helps..OH YA ON A SAFER NOTE!!!...DONT LOOK FOR SPARK WITH THE ENGINE WET WITH FUEL..

Repelce fuel filter, check is there any fuel leak,
also check heater plugs,
if all that ok check injectors and injection fuel.
check how is engine compresion.

It is possible that some of the glow plugs might not be working. This will cause a hard start and smoking condition especially in cold weather.

you will find that it may be the glow plug timer is faultycausing the glow plugs not getting hot enough
