I have a suzuki samurai w/1.6 eco td and I am having starting problems. It will crank fine for about two revolutions and start to fire but then I get alot of dark smoke and it dies. when I try to crank again the starter sounds different
like it is cranking slower but will not fire. I tried to turn the crank nut with a socket and it is really hard to turn. when it was running it was rough on start up and there was a loss of power but I still could get 15 psi of boost. I replaced the head gasket because there was oil arround the head/block mating surfaces.
