The M1009 seems to be a little hard to start in very cold temperatures. Excessive cranking time and lots of smoke on start up. I was wondering if I had a a few inoperative glow plugs.
Ohm tested all 8 glow plugs and found 3 to be completely open. The remaining ones measured out at .8 ohms each...
Try grounding the light blue wire and see if it closes the relay, if it does, measure the voltage on the GP side of the relay to see if it is getting the proper voltage.
Then check to see if the light blue wire has continuity from the relay to the GP card connector, if so then you may have 2...

We can sum up that like a lot of things, every one has their favorite brand of filter and they can use what they wish.
Let's stop the filter bashing discussion now and continue on with the original CUCV discussion of "What have you...
From what you described, the card is functioning normally. With the glow plugs disconnected you have reduced the load on the system. The controller is getting a higher than normal voltage input (orange wire) and is cycling the relay to protect the glow plugs.
The relay will stay closed for a...
