yeah, it's funny, me neither.
the double glow thing was started for me by the guy i bought the car from. he said he used to double glow when the temperature started dropping and it idled better at startup. i followed suit, but now i just count to 15 after the light goes out and she starts immediately idles perfectly right away. we'll see how she does in february when it is -30c...
my previous car was an 82 volvo 240 diesel wagon and i never had to double glow, and knock wood that car never let me down even on the coldest february mornings, but sometimes i would have to start it 2 or 3 times before it would stay running. i probably could have just let the plugs glow for another 30 seconds and it would have run fine, 6 years with that car and i always thought that when the light went out, the plugs did too...
