Funola, I should have listened to your advice on doing a cold test first as practice on getting the glow plugs out! It took me so long to get them out (and I broke a vaccuum line the process) that the engine was not at all hot when I was done. Since it's all apart now, might as well wait until tomorrow and do a cold one, plug it all back in, warm it up, and then do a hot one. I don't think it will take me so long the next time. I did get the remote starter to work, but I'm having trouble wiring the stop lever in the right position. First I discovered it didn't even shut off the engine. I finally figured out (after a lot of reading) it was just because I had the idle cable adjusted too tight. Now it shuts off w/ the lever, but the bungie doesn't hold it up. I'll have to keep experimenting.
