possible head gasket problems
depends on the type of engine, general rules are remove the spark plugs, squirt in a few ozs oil, turn the engine over for 1 minute, replace plugs, then start it..
no The starter should engage whether the plugs are fouled or not. However, the engine may not start if enough plugs are fouled. If you feel that you have flooded the engine or fouled the plugs you may need to clean them before it will start. If you have caused the carburetor float level or other settings to be significantly changed, the engine will flood and it will not start.
Depending on model, this engine may not have glow plugs. In engines with glow plugs, they are located next to the injectors on the top of the engine, under the plastic cover.
No, Glow Plugs are used to help start a cold engine. They can also be used for emisions (cold start up).
glow plugs are what give your desiel engine its initial spark you could say to ignite the fuel upon start up when your engine is cold
For an engine to start it needs spark to the plugs and fuel. Without both it will not start.
Remove all spark plugs and turn it over to blow the water out. Change the oil/filter, install the plugs and start it up.
change your main relay, when it gets hot it it cant start the engine. I had same problem.
If it is a diesel engine it could be the glow plugs.
No they do not, After engine is running there is no need for glow plugs because there is enough heat in the cylinders to warm the fuel. The glow plugs are designed to heat up the cold diesel fuel on start up only. Actually glow plugs will cycle briefly after engine start up to keep the cold fuel from bringing down cyl temp until the engine warms up. A power stroke will keep glow plugs on for up to 180 sec. A chev will run considerably less I believe.
There is a chance of it, that engine has glow plugs, starting fluid can explode when the glow plugs come on causing engine damage. Before using starting fluid on this type engine, make sure glow plugs are not plugged in, and can not come on.
your engine will start but run badly on a multi cyl. ie. more than one only 1 plug may be down, not often more than 1 together
