What’s wrong with my glow plug? (pt 4…)
Posted in Diesel, glow plugs, injection timing on January 25th, 2012 by adminNo 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
