On my 7.3 Ford, I have had fuel filter issues that wouldn't allow the right amount of fuel to the motor, and also a faulty crank angle sensor that wouldn't allow it to start....just cranked.

On the subject of glow plugs, they are used to warm the fuel at the point of ignition when it's below about 50 degrees, which helps the motor fire in cooler/cold conditions. You may have 1 or more faulty glow plugs, or a glow plug relay that isn't working. A small shot of starting fluid in the intake should make it instantly fire (not too much).

I always run Diesel kleen with every tank full.
