What’s wrong with my glow plug? (pt 4…)

No glow-plug continuity

No glow-plug continuity

Cause:

  • Annular gap between plug shell and heating element constricted or blocked by carbon deposits and the regulating coil remains cold allowing excessive current to reach the heating coil.

Effect:

  • Break in heating wire, premature failure

Corrective Action:

  • Check injection system
  • Check/reset injection timing
  • Torque according to specifications
  • Replace if necessary
