Re: glow plugs
The fast glows have a tapered tip.
The old slow glows have straight sides all the way to the rounded end.
You have to hit the key and see how long the yellow light stays on to see if the relay is fast or slow.
What brand of glow plugs came with the car?
Duraterms came handle slow or fast.
