My son called last night and said the 84 300D he just drove back to school has been requiring 20 sec to crank and the glow light stopped coming on. I recall that means that at least 2 glow plugs are bad, or could be the relay.
That can be number of things: bad 80A strip fuse in relay, bad relay, connector loose at relay, no power going to connector pin for relay activation. If the #1 plug is bad, or the connection at the plug is bad, the system doesn't work, either.
