ok, i found the short. It was rather a genious idea of how i found it. (at least i thought so) ok so when the glow plug is first turned on, it draws alot of amps and as the plug warms up, the it draws less and less amps. So i took my battery chager and grounded the negitive to the frame, and put a copper pin that i found, and glamped it into the postive clap of the battery charger. I took the wiring harness off of the GP relay and started to test each glow plug threw the harness. turned the charger on 50amps. not really seeing the numbers yet i think i started on number 5 first. put it in the whole and the charger needle pegged at the other side, then started to come back when the glow plug was hot. I did it to all of them and all the GP's checked out. But when i get it cylinder 1, SPARKS FLEW!!

in conclusion, i found out the the number 1 GP had a short in it. replaced it and now im charging the battery cause it went dead from not using it for a while. good news is when i cranked glowed it and cranked the car, IT DIDNT burn the fuse out. ill post back in a while, once its started
