Greetings All,

Thanks, for all the responses and suggestions on my glow-plug issue. The weather has been so nasty since I asked for help, not to mention I am trying to get some outside projects done that were weather sensitive. Concrete pouring isn't fun in the rain.
At any rate I did go out today in the rain none the less, no choice it seems and recheck the glow-plugs with an ohm meter set to 200 Ohm and found all but two plugs reading .8 The 2nd one came up reading a 2.4, not good and the 4th came up with a .9 To play it safe I think I will replace both as one seems to be definitely out of the game, and the other probably not far behind. I am wondering if this could contribute to a somewhat rough idle not only at start-up, which is obvious, but also after the engine has warmed up? I remember someone mentioning that if the tip of the glow-plug actually burned through then the compression in that cylinder would actually go down somewhat. As always, your thoughts and experience is appreciated.

Charles
