Nope - the glow plug stays hot and ignites the fuel/air mixture. Not enough compression to ignite the fuel without that red hot wire. There are Diesel model engines - they have a T handled screw where the glow plug would eb to adjust the compression. They're started with ether instead of a glow plug. You can sure tell the difference in compression when spinning the prop!
