Location: FL. Probably not the glow plugs. They are not on before engine start when it's warm anyways. One way to eliminate them is to unplug the coolant temperature sensor. This tricks the ECU into maximum glow plug duration.

It could be an air or fuel problem. You have to give more details like any error codes or other symptoms.
