When to plug up a diesel power stroke depends on the condition of the engine and the environment in which it is running. Generally speaking it is recommended to tighten plug gaps and replace plugs every 10000-15000 miles and anytime the engine is running poorly or using more fuel than normal. Here are some additional factors to consider when deciding when to plug up a diesel power stroke:
- Age of the engine - Older engines may require more frequent plug replacement
- Environmental conditions - Cold weather high altitudes and dusty areas may require more frequent plug replacement
- Driving habits - Aggressive driving and towing can cause more wear and tear on plugs requiring more frequent replacement
It is best to consult with a qualified mechanic to determine the best plug replacement schedule for your specific engine and environment.

Are all power stroke engines diesel models?
The short answer is, Yes. Power Stroke is the diesel engine, made by Navistar International Corporation, that Ford Motor Company uses for its diesel powered F- series pick up trucks. These engines use Ford's software for engine management.
Where is the plug-in located on your 2005 Ford F250 Diesel Power Stroke to warm up my glow plugs?
look between radiator and grill if plug in hasnot been used, the cord will be wrapped up in a bundle between radiator and grill.just untie it and route it to where it is easy to get at when needed for future use
Why not diesel engine is spark ignited?
A gasoline injects fuel into the cylinder as it is filled with air, compresses it, then ignites the spark plug to trigger the power stroke. In a diesel engine air is compressed up to 3 times more causing a much higher cylinder temp. Once the air in the cylinder is hot diesel fuel is injected directly into the cylinder and is ignited by the high temperature.
20001 7.3 liter power stroke diesel is cutting out but no codes show up?
Well, first thing is fuel filter, like a tune up in gas cars.
What happens if salt is in a diesel tank?
Fuel filter will plug up.
How do you tune up a 1994 f250 7.3 diesel?
there in not really a tune up to be done just normal maintenance. filters ect. oil is really important because if your have the power stroke it can effect fuel injection.
Is there any 3 stroke engine?
No. How could there be? The "stroke" of an engine is the piston going up or down. If the spark plug fires and piston goes down, then up,and then fires again, then it's a two-stroke engine. IN a 4-stroke engine, the spark plug fires, piston does down, then up to exhaust the cylinder, then down to suck in fresh air and cool the cylinder, and up again to compress, and the spark plug fires every other "up". How could you have a "three-stroke" engine? The spark plug fires and the explosion pushes the piston down, and the crankshaft pushes it back up. Then back down. If the spark plug fires while the piston is DOWN, the engine will seize up. Nope. In a piston engine, the number of "strokes" is always an even number. For radial or Wankel engines, things are different - but in those there is no piston, and no "stroke".
Diesel engine losing power?
Tighten it up!
Does a diesel engine use a spark plug?
No With some exceptions in the 1950's and before. Some early diesels started on gasoline with spark plugs and then switched to diesel when the engine was warmeed up.
How do you solve diesel engine power loss?
Re-build your diesel. Put on a custom chip and that will make up for engine power loss.
Who knows why my1960 Vw transporter 2.4l diesel will not start the glow plug indicator does not light up?
because in 1960 vw did not make a diesel engine
What is algae in the fuel?
It is an algae that grows in a diesel fuel tank. It can plug up a fuel filter in no time.
