amps will measure from moderate heat, to white hot. only white/bright orange fully hot to the tip glow plugs will effectively start the car...

Right. Essentially this is what i'm trying to measure with amps rather than pulling the plugs and watching them get hot. I've never seen them white hot. Just orange. I think i should add hold jumper wire and measure amps for 5 to 10 seconds to ensure it continually draws amps. Do you guys agree no need to pull the plug then and if it is drawing 20 amps it has to be getting hot?
Where could that energy be going if not into heating the tip?
