Something doesn't sound right. All symptoms point to a bad glow plug.......or more than one........

You've got plugs that have 90K on them and they all test lower than a brand new factory plug (typically .6-.8 ohms).

Your test with an ammeter might show some different results than one would expect with those resistance readings. The initial inrush current will be about 30 amps per plug for a brief moment if you actually have .4 ohms. But, I'll wager that one, or more than one of them is nowhere near this value.
