Van has been parked up for a couple of weeks as been busy with work etc (my t4 isn't my daily drive). Thought I had better take it for a spin around the block, started fine but ran for about 10seconds and then stopped. Tried restarting it and was very sluggish then fired up but seem like it was only firing on 2 cylinders (very rough) gave it a few blips on the throttle and and a lot of smoke mainly white but also and big chug of black smoke. Eventually it started to run smooth and felt like it was running on all 4 cylinders again, with no smoke. Turn ignition off and restarted (whilst still warm) and ran lovley. Glow plugs only replaced a few months ago, starter motor also fairly new and plenty of life in it.
Engine is 1.9abl any pointers of simple things to check ? haven't done a compression test as its PITA to get glow plugs out so was going to check other things before i go down that route was just wandering of pointers on where to start ?
