With an ohmmeter, loop plug should read open from electrical connector to chassis ground, pencil should read under 1.0 ohms.
If you want, undo the electrical connector and unscrew a plug to see what it would look like. Loop plug has a fat wire loop on the business end, pencil plug is one smooth tube.
Do a BuyParts lookup of your model and year. Loop plugs are under Glow Plugs, and the newer pencil plugs are under Glow Plug Kit.
Let us know.

Ok it's raining, and the trick or treaters wont leave me alone. So I will have to pull one of the plugs Tuesday evening. But I did look at the Glow plugs to see if I could see anything unusual. "Bingo" When Mr Mechanic installed the last set. I noticed he had moved wires going to the plugs. Now under closer inspection I see the wires have been in contact with wire that heats the plugs. Looks to have cooked them pretty good. The wires are not broken but the plastic is hard and charred around the wires in two or three places. I guess I should have been more observant and I would have caught this sooner. I am hoping this will be the fix. Will post results, after the change has been made. Thanks, Tree
