[W126 Coupe] Hard starting diesel

[richard jaffe]

Hello all,

I came across an 84 500 SEC that has had the V8 (broken timing belt) replaced with a 617 diesel motor and trans out of an 84 300 SD. If the car has been sitting a while, it starts fine. However, after shutting the car off, it does not want to start again when trying to restart after a few minutes. The starter turns the motor over but it will not fire.  But after sitting for a while, it starts just fine. Is this a problem with the glow plugs? Any ideas? I have not have this type of problem with my gasoline SEC or my 83 300 SD.

Thanks,

Rich Jaffe
