I am encountering a somewhat similar problem with my glo plug light as others who have posted recently with ONE difference.

My light comes on every other time or so and acts real inconsistent. When it does come on the car starts like it should. When it doesn't, it cranks forever and barely starts. I have tried turning it off and turning it on again. When I do so it stays the same as it was before.

My question is do the glo plugs go bad all at once or will they act inconsistent for awhile. I'm trying to determine which is failing intermittantly.....the glo plugs or the relay?

I've ordered plugs and will proceed to change the five, but wondered if any of you have had the problem with inconsistency.

Thanks,

Don
