Hi,
I recently replaced my glowplug controller as well as my Ip Pump.
Thanks mel the Moose Pump runs great.
Any ways, my truck glows and starts great when cold.
I can tell the plugs are glowing because the volt meter drops to 10.5 volts when glowing and pops to 12 when ready to start.
It always starts within a second or 2 of crancking when cold.
Once the engine gets nice and warm, the plugs don't glow. The voltmeter stays steady at 12 volts and you really have to crank the starter a while to get it to fire.
If I short out the solenoid to get the plugs glowing, it will fire right away
I'm thinking I got a bad controller, or maybe the relay is sticking.
I don't think its the pump as its New, or the plugs cause they glow about 12 to 15 sec when cold and fire up right away.
Any advice? I haven't checked jumping the solenoid yet to see if the solenoid is sticking yet. I would rather get the controller working right than jerry rigging a bypass switch.
My Truck BTW
Thanks,
Julio
