What else can I help you with?
What if the glow plugs misfire?
glow plugs do not fire glow plugs are used to heat the chamber where the diesel ignites diesel is not ignited by a spark diesel is ignited thru compression
What is the glow plugs for?
Glow plugs provide the heat for combustion in diesel engines, just like spark plugs are used to ignite regular gasoline in standard engines.
Do the glow plugs cycle after engine is running?
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.
How do you turn off preheat light on transit van?
Change the pre=heat (glow plug) relay.
Do glow plugs stay on after ignition?
Glow plugs need electricity while starting the engine. After that, they do not use electricity, but stay red hot due to the heat of combustion and pressure within the cylinder.
How does Toyota glow circuit work?
A typical glow plug circuit energizes a timed relay when the key is turned, after the preset time has expired ( about 10 seconds ) the light to allow starting is illuminated. Glow plugs are not like spark plugs, they only need to be energized when the engine is cold, and only then long enough to heat them up once, after that the heat of the engine is enough to cause combustion.
What is a glow plug?
Glo plugs are basically a heater in the top of each cylinder that heat up for the better starting of a diesel engine.
Why don't diesel engines use spark plugs?
diesel engines do not use spark plugs because diesel has more oil, burns slower, and is more difficult to ignite. Therefor spark plugs are insufficient with just spark so instead they use glow plugs witch provides a high amount of heat to the fuel and ignites more quickly and reliably.The amount of compression pressure in a diesel engine is sufficient to produce enough heat to ignite the fuel. The glow plugs are only used on a cold start.
Why wont my 205 STDT start on a morning It is as if the battery has drained overnight What are possible causes for this?
Ive got an STDT aswell that doesn't like starting on the morning. Try changing the glow plugs for some new ones because old glow plugs don't heat up enough.
Why does a Ford diesel have two batteries?
It takes a lot of amps to heat the glow plugs and turn over a motor with such high compression at the same time.
What do glow plugs do in a diesel engine?
They preheat the air in the cylinder to make starting easier. they actually heat the diesel fuel to make starting easier
Do diesel engines need spark plugs to ignite the fuel?
Diesel engines use heat and compression to ignite fuel. Although not needed in more modern diesel's many had glow plugs in a similar placement that is used to add the required heat for starting, but are not needed once at temperature. With higher injection pressures allowing a finer mist of fuel, thus requiring less heat and compression, glow plugs have largely been eliminated (but still have other heaters for cold weather starts.)
