Some idea of how many miles/Km the engine has done would be a help.
Assuming fuel is getting into the cylenders at the right time, and the
heater plugs are working, ie. the relay supplying them is also OK, then the
only other thing is poor compression.
Check that the heater plugs are getting power when the dash light is on.
They should remain powered for a couple of minutes after the engine has
started too I believe.
It is not unheard of for the relay to fail.
