Dear Fellow SSer's,
Changed out Glow Plugs today because I have been having poor cold starts. All Plugs looked ok and came out without any problems.
Put Meter on Glow Plug while Son cycled ignition till Wait Light came on. Measured 8 vlts dc initially and increased to 10 vlts dc and then voltage went to zero after a few seconds. At that time I noticed some smoke coming off Glow Plug Resistor assembly? She started right up without hesitation on first try. Nice and warm out this afternoon!
Apparently my GP Resistor is done or getting ready to die. What do I do now? Hoping somebody knows a source for the GP Resistor Assy. Want to keep her OEM as possible. Will go another route if need be.
Look forward to your valuable technical suggestions as always. DMLII sends...
