We tested the resistance on most of the glow plugs. The stupid non-autoranging analog multimeter made it difficult at best. Some of them may be bad. Some are definitely good. Some read a little under 1 ohm, and others read possibly 0, but bouncing all over the place too.

All are getting 12v.

None feel warm even after multiple glow cycles.

We tried giving it a little throttle when it stumbled after starting and it evened out. It sounded like one cylinder wasn't firing properly though. After about 3 minutes at idle it went away. Luke/viqx drove it around and said it worked just fine.

We're gonna test the GPs with my digital multimeter this weekend and replace any bad ones before taking it in to the mechanic on Monday to do the brake pads.

Thanks again!
