only if you have a diesel engine.
What is the purpose of a glow plug on a ci engine?
The purpose of a glow plug in a compression-ignition (CI) engine, commonly found in diesel engines, is to preheat the combustion chamber to facilitate easier starting, especially in cold conditions. When activated, the glow plug heats up and helps ignite the air-fuel mixture by raising the temperature of the incoming air, which is crucial for achieving proper combustion in diesel engines. This aids in reducing engine starting difficulties and emissions during cold starts.
What does a diesel glow plug solenoid hook to for power?
A diesel glow plug solenoid typically connects to the vehicle's battery for power, receiving a direct electrical supply to operate. It is usually activated by the ignition switch or a relay, allowing it to control the flow of electricity to the glow plugs when starting the engine. This ensures that the glow plugs heat up properly to aid in cold starting the diesel engine.
What is the difference between spark plugs and glow plugs?
A spark plug actually sparks, and is generally only used in a gasoline engine. A glow plug just gets warm (glows), and is used in some diesel engines.The difference between spark plugs and glow plugs is that a spark plug delivers current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber while a glow plug is a heating device that aids starting diesel engines.A spark plug actually sparks, and is generally only used in a gasoline engine.

Why don't diesel engine's require spark plugs?
Most diesel engines will have a 'glow' plug that gives of enough heat to help get the engine started. The heat generated from the first few revolutions together with the compression from the piston is enough to ensure the engine keeps running. Some modern diesel engines no longer require a glow plug.

If when you first start the engine there is a misfiring until the engine warms up, it is a good chance a glow plug problem. Usually misfiring will cease after the engine has been running about ten minutes. One of the last systems of a bad glow plug is you see white exhaust when starting the engine. Diesel is let into the combustion chamber to start the engine. A bad or even disconnected glow plug will allow diesel to leak from the chamber into the exhaust. The fuel is then ignited in the exhaust pipe and produces a white smoke. Once the engine again warms up the white smoke will stop.
Why is 12 volts on glow plug continuous after engine start?
It is broken. Continuous glow plugs are for emergency generators in freezing climates. On all other engines, the glow plug is not continuous. It would serve no purpose. The continuous glow plug does not offer any benefit once the engine is running.
How do you start a disel Engine?
