    Push button glowplug issue

    I went from the power on the 12v battery to the switch to the power side of the relay. I can try wiring it your way over the weekend though and see if that helps

    Push button glowplug issue

    oil heater

    batteries

    yet another glow plug issue

    Engine has just shy of 79k on it. Pulled the card yesterday and it looks like it has a burn mark on it. Been had to wire in a push button for the plugs a while back because they weren't cycling.

    yet another glow plug issue

    Well then I guess the next step is to find the bad injector. Then wipe the egg off of my face and tell my shop foreman that he was right :P

    yet another glow plug issue

    Hmmm. Seems weird that that would only happen for the first couple of minutes right after a cold start up. I knew the plug was bad already but I guess its not out of the question for it to be an injector. Really hope its not though

    yet another glow plug issue

    Iv had a cold misfire for a while now and finally got around to finding which glow plug was bad. Cylinder no. 3 was open so I went to NAPA and got a 60g plug. The blade turned out to be a lot bigger than the one that I pulled out so I had to shave a little bit off the sides (probably not a good...
