Assuming it's diesel check the glow plug/s is/are getting a voltage for a number of seconds when the ignition is first turned on. If they are then switch the ignition off, unscrew and lift the thick wire off all of them. Get a meter on the ohms range and put one probe to plug screw thread and the other to the engine block; the meter should show continuity or a very low ohms reading. Alternatively get a single filament 12v bulb, and connect between the battery POSITIVE and the screw thread of each glow plug in turn. If the lamp doesn't light the glow plug is shot. They vary in price but most are reasonable and widely available.
