So Ive got a 1990 F Super Duty with a 7.3 IDI motor, no turbo and basically a stock motor, no turbo no turnin up the screw inside the pump or anything else that I can think of. This is my weld rig and I make my living with this.
Glow plugs took a crap about a month or so ago, earlier this week I put a new controller and relay in and new glow plugs. The way it acted the wait to start light blinks once goes out and the relay clicks for a bit then stops crank it up it will crank awhile til she lights up, thats the way it acted before the new goodies and still continues to do so.
Ive checked the plugs there is continuity to all of them and continuity to all the plug wires and I checked the voltage at the wires and Ive got a bit over 12 volts, maybe 12.3 to 12.6 on all the wires, and over
12 volts for the ignition test as well.
Now Im thinkin of putting a push button switch in the dash and bypassing the process but I need a wiring diagram to follow to wire it up...Im not much of an electrical guy the most I know about electricity is what is happening at the end of that weld rod.
Ive searched on google and here and from what I can tell there is a few ways to do it, but this scares me I dont wanna burn up the truck 3 weeks after I do this, I know one fella who did this and the truck caught fire when he was parked at the house for the night, I dont wanna be that guy.
So If any of you fellas or ladies can provide a drawing of some sort it would be greatly appreciated. I like blueprints and drawings, seems to go much better for me than an explanation.
Thank you all very much
