Thanks for the input. No leaks at the pump and it is a newer style
pump. Appears to to be pumping correctly however after manually
pumping 30 times or more the vehicle will not start. After loosening
the injector lines at the injectors I pumped manually about 20 times
with no results after which I cranked with the starter and fuel began
flowing from the lines within 5 seconds. Tightened the lines back up
and it started right away.
It sounds like I have a pinhole leak somewhere that I am going to have
to track down, what a pain.
Thanks again,
Mike

Air leak in fuel lines. He said it is not delivering fuel to the
nozzles when the condition exists. As an aside, Michael, you don't
need to crack the injection lines. Just prime it with the hand
pump, then crank it.
I had a similar problem with an S10 pickup, it was something in the
ignition system but since your car is a diesel I guess it would not
be a hot ignition module...
You sure it is fuel related? Is the glow system working OK? Glow
plug fuse? Relay? I replaced the relay on the 84 300SD with
whatever that new thing is Rusty sells, a fast glow relay or
something? Or maybe it is just a new version of the same old.
Whatever, the car starts much better now. (Hey, maybe that is like
the hot ignition module?)

Car starts very hard, sometimes not at all when I try to restart
after driving long enough to get to full operating temperature.
If I restart within a few minutes it starts right up. If I wait
for 2 to hours it starts right up. If I try to start up within an
hour or two it will not start. To get it to start I have to
loosen injector lines and crank or manual pump until I get fuel to
the injectors. During the winter here in Michigan I had no
problem whatsoever. As soon as we hit 70 degrees plus it started
acting up again. Is this a problem with the injector pump or do I
have holey hose somewhere in the system?
Thanks,
Mike
