That steering wheel cracked me up. I would heavily dose some diesel kleen for a tank or two and see if it helps.
The plunger on the solenoid retracts back in when the solenoid loses power. If you do more than one glow plug cycle, don't bother to set it until you're on the last one (assuming that you don't have a manual control on the glow plugs). You can sure feel it on the throttle pedal when it retracts, you're right. If, for some reason, you're in a hurry and can't wait until the high idle kicks off to drive it (not recommended but I have being easy on the throttle), you can even feel when it kicks off then.Thanks for checking back IDI Bronco - it ran great! I'd say it already starts well, but with high idle set, it seemed to 'jump to life' more quickly than without it! Funny... I flipped my ignition switch on, and tapped the throttle, and then I figured I'd let the glow plugs cycle one more time. When I turned the ignition off, I could feel the throttle 'pop back' to its standard setting. I then initiated the glow plug cycle again, tapped the throttle, and as predicted, it set itself again, and she jumped to life immediately (hadn't run for 4 days, but it doesn't seem to make it any harder to start (even after 3 weeks of not running)). I'll make a cold start video again soon, and post it to show how nicely it starts. Cheers
