why would it be different for a DI engine?
I've heard that using ether can cause damage to the prechambers because it's
more detination they can handle. The injection to each cylinder is metered,
but with the ether, it's not. I think a HUGE part to my starting problems
with this engine is th

starting fluid is bad if the glow plugs are working. If the plugs are

Ether or starting fluid - BAD. WD-40 is MUCH better (but shouldn't be
necessary).
