[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 342722, member: 2383"] Pull the connectors off the top of all the glow plugs. Take a test light and hook the alligator clip to the positive post of your battery. Touch the probe end to the spade connector on each plug, if it lights it's good, if not it needs replacing. The ends of the glow plugs have a habit of swelling up and not wanting to come out of the holes sometimes, soak them with penetrating oil and work them out gently with vise-grips. If the tip breaks off you have to pull the head, been there. The glow plug relay also goes bad quite often, check to see if it passes current when it clicks on after you first turn the switch. The 86 and olders have a control unit in the back of the block behind the intake, 87's have an integrated setup below the gpr. There's also some fusible links but I've never seen them go bad. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask. cfpinz [/QUOTE]
