Sir,
I have a fiat palio stile multijet diesel and iam facing morning starting problem, the engine cranks but it wont start. So this days iam starting by putting little amount of petrol into the air pipe thats is attached to the engine, with this method the car starts at one go and comes to normal starting again but if againg keep the parked for 2-3 hours faces the same problem. I tried changing the heater glow but its the same.
sir, iam living in such a remote area of india that is nagaland and iam really in deep trouble going yo office so please give me some suggestions, what to do?
Thanking you and waiting for your positive reply. GOD bless.

I apologize for not having any information on that vehicle due to the fact that they are not admitted into the United States. That vehicle is equipped with glow plugs which assist the vehicle start-up. If you take off the top cover of the engine you will see you next to the bow of cover the electrical plug that connects to the glow plug right behind the fuel rail. You will need a test light to check and see if the glow plugs are any good. The way you do that is disconnect the electrical connector, connect the test light to the positive battery terminal, and put the pointy end on to the glow plug, if the test light comes on the globe pledges good, if it does not the Glow plug needs to be replaced. Perform that procedure and bring me word.
