Hello Diesel Fans I've got a weird one today:
617 Diesel Coupe ('84 turbo) is being a stinker about starting. The owner got it running w/ starting fluid ( ) to get it to my house (where she suggested to me that the car might need new spark plugs ).
The relay and glow plugs pass all tests: Relay clicks on, glow plug light in dash comes on, all fuses check out good, I have 12V+ at every single glow plug w/ ignition on and .01-.03 ohms at every glow plug (btw the relay harness and the block). But the darn things don't get hot! Far from smoking a little oil on them, you can hold onto them for the whole glow cycle! What am I missing?!?
I hope someone has some insight...12V and <1 ohm should get the plugs hot....right
Thanks!
-Matt-
