Warm up problems!
#13
Sorry! But i guess i didnt mention that it does that at -15 and lower, yesterday i've started it at -20 without had it plugged in.
But i should first check the injectors out and then see what happens or first run some fuel conditioner through.
I also drive a 2006 Jeep CRD, but the start up sounds and smokes are totally different, i guess because this is the new diesel system (Common Rail Diesel) and its easier to start up in the cold weather. Even preheat the injectors takes less than 2 sec at -10C.

Its supposed to go into 3 cylinder idle and hi idle when its cold - and yes it will smoke white for a bit. Let it run for 5 minutes and then just get in and drive it. Keep the RPM's under 2k and take it easy until it gets up to operating temperature. the day of ideling diesels for hours on end are long gone.
You really should plug it in for 3 hours when its that cold.
