After testing all the glow plugs in the 83 240D and installing a new glow plug
relay 12v is flowing to all glow plugs now but starting function is still not
there. Much cranking is needed. I have started this car in sub 40 degree
weather after overnight cooling on vegetable oil using no throttle and getting a
smooth idle. Is it possible for a glow plug to test good but not function
sufficently to warm the chamber fooling the relay into glowing the dash light?
In the past when more than one glow plug was bad the relay won't kick in. Still
starting hard at 40 degrees. Shouldn't a battery sag test work to see if the
glow plugs are drawing current? If so what is the battery sag when all four
plugs are drawing current? Can a functioning glow plug not function because of
dirt covering them in the chamber? Any other way a glow will not function but
test good? Lawrence Rhodes....
