Glow plug work and faults.

How Glow Plugs work?

A Glow plug is a heating device that is used in diesel engines to aid in the combustion process. The glow plug is typically located in the cylinder head and is connected to an electrical power source. When the engine is started, the glow plug heats up to a high temperature, typically around 800-1000 degrees Fahrenheit.

As the glow plug heats up, it ignites the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder, helping to start the combustion process. This is especially important in diesel engines, as diesel fuel is less volatile than gasoline and can be harder to ignite without the aid of a glow plug.

Once the engine is running, the glow plug may continue to operate for a short period of time to help maintain optimal combustion conditions, especially in cold weather. However, once the engine reaches operating temperature, the glow plug is no longer needed and will shut off.

What are the signs of glow plug failure?

1. Difficulty starting the engine, especially in cold weather.

2. Rough idling or misfiring.

3. Decreased fuel efficiency.

4. Engine hesitation or lack of power.

5. Check engine light illuminated on the dashboard.

6. Excessive smoke coming from the exhaust.

7. Diesel fuel odor inside the vehicle.

8. Engine stalling or shutting off unexpectedly.

How to choose glow plug?
