A good place to start would be to ask how long does your WTS light stay lit?

If less than 10/12 secs might just have a bad one or two.
Als there sems to be problems with the wiring harness/cover gskt
assy.
I'll try and dig up a schematic for the external plugs at the cyl heads.

We are hitting the mid teens tonight....first real test of mine on the '96:eek:
The Berus in my '90:rock: in any temp.

The dealership just called and my problem was the glow plug relay. I spoke with the mechanic and he said that they've been replacing quite a few this winter.

Mine is covered under warranty but I asked what the price would have been just in case; $202.00 with parts, labor, and diagnostics. With your NAPA relay cost, you'll be paying yourself $183.00 so you'll be able to take your time and still make a decent hourly wage! ;)
