My 94 let me down, I forgot to plug in my oil pan heater and it failed to start I had -10. I probably shouldnt worry but that is the first time ever. I think if I had a glow override it would have gone but I plugged in the heater and gave it a boost and it started up a few hours later very...
No offense but claims like this have to be why insurance companies rape everyone. I see people losing control in rain and snow on bald tires wrecking there cars and insurance pays, no responsability on the owner to maintain the vehicle!! I can identify with wanting insurance to cover your issue...

Have you verified power at glow plugs when wait light is on? Just use a test light.run a jumper to them glows and then try it, my 1994 will not start without them although I burn oily diesel! Does your service throttle ligt go out before you crank, mine does.
