In cold conditions, diesel engines can run rough at startup due to several factors. Firstly, low temperatures can cause the fuel to thicken, making it less efficient for combustion. Additionally, the viscosity of engine oil increases in cold weather, leading to increased friction and sluggish engine performance. Moreover, cold temperatures can affect the glow plugs, which are essential for pre-heating the combustion chamber, resulting in incomplete combustion and rough running until the engine warms up.

What are the possible reasons for difficult starting of a diesel van in the morning?

Difficult starting of a diesel van in the morning can be attributed to several factors, including cold weather, which can thicken the engine oil and affect fuel flow. A weak battery may struggle to provide enough power for the starter motor, especially in low temperatures. Additionally, issues with the glow plugs, which preheat the combustion chamber, can hinder ignition. Lastly, fuel quality or contamination can impact the engine's ability to start smoothly.
