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.
Your glow plugs are not heating up. You may have bad glow plugs or relay. try turning on the key ( this should start the warming of the plugs and a light on the dash will come on letting you know it is ok to start if not the relay is bad) if no luck turn off the key and let it cycle again. if it is still difficult to start you may need new glow plugs.
Hi, It's inside the van located inside the fuse box. It's relay number 102 if memory serves me right. (Its the biggest relay in there, the long one)
it should react immediately after snapping it.
AnswerMay be one or more glow plugs are bad. you may also want to check the controller. it tells the relay how long to stay on. Your glow plugs don't stay on all the time. If your wait to start light doesn't stay on very long, then your controller is telling the relay to turn off. If the light isn't coming on at all then i would definetely check the controller. First check the 50amp fuse in the under hood block.
Yes, your children should be safe with glow sticks as long as they don't get ahold of something sharp and get it open. The liquid inside should not be consumed. My child plays with them all the time.
A Diesel engine ignites its fuel by compression. The temperature increase in the cylinder due to friction of compression and will need to reach a temp of about 1,000 deg f. During cold ambient tempters most diesel's will need help and it can done by the use of glow plugs, intake heater, or block heater located in a water jacket. you will most of the time find two of the three systems in use. The block heater may be used with either the glow plugs or an intake heater the block heater is normally a 110v that you plug in to an electrical outlet at home. A glow plug can also be used as a intake heater by placing it in the intake manifold or air intake tube.This is how they work in a Ford Power Stroke engineGlow Plug SystemThe 7.3L diesel engine uses a glow plug system which preheats air in the combustion chamber to improve cold engine starting.The system consists of eight glow plugs, the glow plug control module (12B533), powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650), engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor and barometric pressure sensor (BARO sensor) (12A644).The glow plug system is electronically controlled by the powertrain control module. The powertrain control module energizes the glow plugs immediately after the key is placed in the ON position and then determines how long the glow plugs will be on according to the engine oil temperature and the barometric pressure. The required time for the glow plugs to be energized decreases as the engine oil temperature and barometric pressure increase.The glow plugs are self-regulating, and the powertrain control module controls relay ON time.The powertrain control module protects the glow plugs by energizing them for short durations if the battery voltage is abnormally high.
well it takes a couple hours to glow and if you do it just right and put it under a black light thin it will glow.
it should be under the hood, there should be a black relay box .maybe long and thin near the the battery .or on one of the fender walls , and the cover should tell you which relay it is,k....
The size of a glow stick does not necessarily affect how long it glows. The glow duration is primarily determined by the chemicals inside the glow stick and their reaction rate. However, larger glow sticks may have more chemicals, which could potentially result in a longer glow time.
So long as you have not touched the injectors or emptied the fuel pump you should be fine.
