I CHANGE FUEL FILTER, CHECKED FOR FUEL LEAKAGE OR AIR IN SYSTEM, CHECKED GLOW PLUGS EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE

ITS LEFT JUST FUEL INJECTORS I GUESS,

Hi,

I experienced similar problems with my other car. If the fuel filter does not seal tightly it could be that due to colder weather air could be sucked into the fuel systen already in the filter. That is why the car starts, but stops quickly again. Just tighten the fuel filter a notch when the engine is cold.
Hope is works.

Regards,
Wilmar.
