Jim!; maybe you can answer this about the diff. readings on the glow plugs; a 5.75 reading? ok? does this one have the shortest wire from gp relay? to it causing less resistance; maybe this one still ok?; and the .9 resistance one, ok?; the open one is not ok; the 470 ohms one; i ran into about this same reading & changed it, don't know if bad or not; i don't change any glow plug unless it reads out of limits; i have extras, but will not change unless; shows way out of limits
A properly functioning glow plug should read about 0.6 ohms at ambient temperatures and maybe twice that at 1180 deg, C. One that reads outside that range is BAD! The wiring should not add any more than 10-20% to those readings or the wiring needs to be replaced!
