What I have been wondering from time to tie over the years is if the GP go bad will they eventually damage the relay or vice versa. Anyone know? How about it Whunter, will one cause the the failure of the other? They all fail about the same time or is it more a cascade effect as seen in electronic circuit boards?

One thing about no glow plug(s) is all the smoke that comes out the tail pipe for half a minute or so, enough to maybe have one of your neighbors call the fire dept on you.

Another thing I have often wondered is how these cars run 200k or maybe twice that w/o ever replacing or rebuilding the injectors? Then when they are replaced or rebuilt they are seldom ever pop tested. It would seem to me that it is not that big a deal to pop test and shim the injectors when or if they are rebuilt after two or three hundred thousand miles. Even those that rebuild and replace the nozzles seldom if ever replace the springs in the injectors or for that matter have the injectors pop tested unless they just are not reporting that part of the repair.

I hope I haven't stirred up a hornets nest here or sounded like a complete idiot.
