Exclamation Problems with Diesel start-up

Hey, I was coming across more and more problems with starting up Diesel engines. I’ve heard that something may be wrong with too low pressure in common rail. So I decided to get a decent common rail injection analyzer for my garage. After searching web I discovered http://auto-testers.com/ The prices are encouraging but what about quality? I’m especially interested in edia-5 – do you have any experience with this device? Thanks for any help.

Try some of phone/tablet application ...I am using Torque for some quick diag (the second option is Star Diag)

http://www.appbrain.com/app/torque-p...g.prowl.torque

The above application could measure common rail pressure ..

You cannot be wrong with spending $30 ...

I have regular tester and I am using it mostly for my wife Volvo .

As for your problem, check glow-plugs as well

Thank you I haven't heard about the phone application, maybe I should try it. Glow-plugs are usually fine that's why I thought about too low pressure in the common rail.
