Possibly fuel, check the Schrader valve, could also be a sensor

We have 6 inches of snow so horrible working on car
I got wifes hairdrier and gave everything a good heating
Come to start and 3cranks and it started but cut out again but then just as it cut out it clicked in and fired up
Run it up to temperature no problem. Gave it a couple of hours and heated up the coolant temp sensor then it started on 3 cranks
Going out this morning to start it up horrible weather. Will tell you result

Its on the top of the engine where the fuel line is. Allows you to see if you have sufficient fuel pressure. I forgot that you get ice and snow there, so has been said check the glow plugs as they are required in cold weather.
