So you are saying you get a reciprocal effect from the glow plugs? Instead of putting a voltage / current in and getting heat - you are putting heat in and getting voltage / current out?

If I've understood that correctly it would be nice and I'm sure I can find a way of calibrating glow plugs as transducers - I'm just a bit wary of the response time...
