    no glowplugs possible?

    I was kicking around this idea in my head the other day. If one were to remove the glowplugs, but add an intake heater like on a Powerstroke, or Cummins, will the IDI still fire off? Or do the Glowplugs acctually ignite the fuel in the cylinders (or precups rather) when under compression...
