As for the trooper, here's a technique for cold start ups in the morning. After the glow plug coil (tama ba ang description?) and the abs warning lights go off, a "tick" sound will be heard after 1-1.5 secs. Wait for that sound before turning the key. Mas madaling magstart ang engine. In the middle of the day, the sound will not be noticeable as it will sound at the same time as the warning lights go off. HTH
