Hard start
My 95 is becoming a pain in the *** to start. If the weather is under 40 degrees it takes a few minutes to get it started if its not plugged in but recently its been becoming harder and harder to start. I just tried to start it after its been plugged in for almost 10 hours i cycled the glow plugs to many times to count for 20 minutes and i got two or three chugs but could't get it to start. Any ideas? Any way to test for what it is? I'm still pretty new to powerstrokes, so i'm not entierly sure what all to check and any help would be greatly appreciated!

It still isn't going to hurt to test the batts and the starter...
Also, when you say cycle the glowplugs for 20 times. Are you just meaning that you cycle the key again when the WTS light goes off? They are timed to stay on up to 1 1/2 minutes even if the light is off. Just turn the key and wait. You will know when they shut off when the ammeter jumps up a bit...

check the glow plug relay. its the relay above the valley of the engine passenger side. looks just like your external starter solenoid on the fenderwall passenger side. take a test light, one side should be hot all the time. the other side should get hot when you turn the key on. if not, relay bad. if thats the case, make sure you get one from ford. i've tried advanc, napa, you name it, all junk!
