well its still acting up.... it went like 10 min without coming on then sometimes the light comes on for like 30 seconds sometimes for like 5 seconds then off then back on again for a couple seconds, its weird but when the light comes on the glow plugs are DEFINITELY glowing because my voltage gauge drops down to abt 12.6 volts when its usually at about 14.2 volts when the car is cruising. when i was in the driveway tho, i was sitting there waiting for the light to go off before i shut down the car. it went off but the voltmeter didnt go back to 14.2 volts for like another 10 15 seconds after the light was off. i also heard a kinda loud click coming from the relay area, im guessing it was just shutting off the plugs but it seems like u shouldnt be able to hear the relay shutting them off.... maybe i just never noticed it before.

i also checked the wires to the glowplugs and they were all tight.
