Test is invalid.

You need a meter that can read below 10 ohms. Set the meter to 10 ohms and repeat the test.

Each glow plug should read about 1 ohm.........up to 1.5 ohms is acceptable. Anything over 1.5 ohms needs to be replaced. Anything open needs to be replaced.

With three bad plugs, the odds of the remaining two being excellent are nil.

You need "excellent" in the cold.
