Starting problems

Hi guys

My 1999 2.0 L-Series takes as while to start in the morning when it's cold, the starter motor and engine turns so it's not the battery. So I keep on turning it and pump the throttle a bit and then it starts eventually after a few tries. During the rest of the day or night I can start it and it starts as soon as I turn the key no prob, it's just in the mornings...

Could this be glow plugs or fuel pumps?

Cool, I like van reenen, been there a few times (2x)

Cured it at last !!!!! guess what it was ? Injectors......... They tested out ok for leak off in fact they had none but for some reason they were the problem, she starts a dream every time now and does not gas out half the county when she does start.
Another tip to pass on-- when changing injectors, if you cannot remove them due to carbon build up pour a little full fat coca cola around the top of them and leave over night, this eats away the deposits and makes removel easier.................
