You can check ohm's between the end of the glow plug and the block, excluding problems in the harness from the equation. The light goes off (?) if there is a difference between plug #2 and any of the other plugs I think.

OMG -- what a nightmare car my 97 was! The only car I've ever owned, that I felt uneasy about and didn't trust for a 100 mile trip.....Mine must have been one of those you hear about being built late on a Friday afternoon, or the first one built on a Monday morning! Although, I will admit - I have a couple of friends that swear by their 00 and 01 model E38's. Goods and bads with all I guess....

It do love the way it drives and handles, however.........leaves lesser vehicles in the dust on any curve. Like the W140, it's a very complex piece of machinery and it takes a skilled tech to solve its issues in an expedient manner. |

I don't remember SES light details - I had radiator, multiple electrical things, constant check engine, rough idle, dual cats went out way to early in their life....just seemed like always something simple and stupid. But oh yes --- I so agree...what an amazing ride and performance that was unbelievable! I loved being the older guy, in the 4 door sedan that knows he can totally blow away some of the younger ones with their hopped tuned rice burners..... You have good tech knowledge, and the cars are strong --- enjoy it!

OK, back to my troubles...
It seems that #2 and #4 GP's are bad. I am guessing that one was bad and the second one just happened to go when it was in the shop. They did have it for two days. What I will do is get a reamer tool and a couple of GP's from the dealer and ream and replace them. Is it ok to just replace two? Thanks |

BC, you are correct and I stand corrected --- it was the SES light, not check engine. Been many years since I thought about it. My Rover also has SES light - and the same basic 4.0 liter motor....
