OK any suggestions for this cold starting thing...My Pajero HATES me. I have the Pad heater and battery warmer and it is a ton better but that 50 gallon drum of hammers, well that pretty much describes it for me on a good day. I know some of you are going "shoulda put in the block heater instead" Well Im here to tell you that once the vehicle is started it is only minutes before nice hot air is blowing inside and even in the girlfriends very warm, very heated underground parkade it doesn't start well either. It blows so much heavy black smoke it's rediculous. Even in her underground which sits about 17 deg celcius I am cycling the plugs 5 - 6 times and still it takes about three times before the engine will run with my foot on the floor. Im pretty sure my neighbors love me for smoking out the block, I can't imaging what the people at her place think as they are trying to get into thier cars in the parkade in the morning.

I'm thinking the problem is one of two things or both...Bad or dirty injectors and or glow plugs.

Fuel economy is about 700km on 83-85 liters but all highway driving and 3300rm at 100km/hr (hopefully new tires are gonna help that a bit). Once the vehicle has been run for the day, it starts no problem at all as long as it doesn't sit for hours in -20. Any suggestions?
