Sounds like you have thermostart unit that is an air preheater in the intake manifold. To make sure it's working, hold the key near the start position without turning the starter over. After aminute of this, the manifold near the thermostart should feel warmer than the surrounding parts of the manifold. If it doesn't, you'll need to replace the unit or a t least check for welectrical continuity and that fuel is getting to it.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T USE ETHER AS A STARTING AID unless you disconnect the thermostart! You run the risk of an explosion in the intake manifold and severe engine damage.
