Check again... Its a glow plug issue if it will not start when cold but starts fine when warm

Put a test light on the glow plug relay and watch it. when you turn the key on it should light and stay on for about a minute or more.

had one do that in our shop. test lights are great but might try a meter to make sure you have the full 12v
