I must admit I am not that expert with DVMs.

The DVM I have has got the following options to select from :

2M , 200K , 20K, 2K, 200

Where did I go wrong.
Use the 200 Ohm setting and short the leads, note the reading (should be close to zero). Then pull the six-pin connector off of the preglow relay and measure from each pin (they are numbered 1-6 same as the glow plugs) to engine ground. The reading of each glow plug should be about 0.5 Ohm more than the shorted reading but no more than 1.0 Ohm more. A bad glow plug will read several hundred Ohms up to infinity.
