Have you checked for voltage to each of the glow plugs? if they aren't getting power they won't do their job properly. What colour is the smoke? Diesels do smoke when cold but the colour can give clues as to any hidden issues. White or dark Black smoke is a fuel issue. Often the fuel/air mixture is wrong creating this smoke colour. Blue Smoke is caused by burning oil so it could be a head gasket or worn piston rings depending on the miles on the engine.

Yes. I'll try to explain this. The glow plugs work by electric resistance. When they are clean and new, they work very well as there is no crud or coating on each part. The material composing each glow plug deteriorates over time something like a sparkplug.

The amount of time it takes to heat up increases as the glow plugs fail. This puts a strain on the wiring feeding the glow plug circuit.

You can test each individual glow plug using auto jumper cables and securing one end to the base and the other is briefly shorted to the top of the glow plug using battery voltage

Be careful-they melt. As you will see, some stay dark(bad) and some glow brightly(good). Or you can just put in all new glow plugs and be done with it.

to much fuel into the exhaust manifold your converter could be causing a restriction have you lost power is your check engine lite on is this an older car with a smog pump sometimes with a smog pump it will push the unused fuel thru the manifold an burn off causing the manifolds to glow

If this is a Diesel engine, the glowplugs would be in a position like a sparkplug. You can replace them as you wish, or replace only the bad one. To determine if a glowplug is bad, you would remove it as you do a sparkplug on a gas engine.

With several of the glowplugs removed, you would place a battery jumper cable on one end of the glowplug, while being careful not to damage its threads. That cable would be connected to the NEG battery cable. The remaining cable would be placed on the Positive(+) terminal of the battery and then you would briefly tough the POS cable to the top of the glowplug.

Do this briefly. You can melt the part. But you need to see if the glowplug will glow. Often the problem with glowplugs is the Timer box. This is the box from where the wires come from to go to the glowplugs.

If you have a glowplug staying dark, or failing to glow well, then it is a bad glowplug. Each should glow the same. That is why you check several at a time to tell what is normal.

I work on Ford diesels and do not know what plastic covers you may have. So just follow the wires that are not on the fuel injectors and that is all you can possibly do.

Check your glow plug controller. It is located between the battery and the brake fluid reservoir - attached to the battery tray by a x-mas tree type push pin. Easy to see if you look at that spot. There have been reports of a few glow plug wiring harnesses failing, between the controller and the glow plugs themselves...Check your fuel and air filters...I hope this helps.

the best way first is to remove the gas cap and listen as close as possible to the filler neck while you have someone else cycle the key from off to run ( the fuel pump will only run for about 10 seconds when the key is turned from off to on, unless the motors running and if it would run I know we would not be here ) you will hear a buzz sound if the pump runs, if not get yourself a test light and gain access to the inertia switch, which is in the trunk on the left side possible behind the trim panel, its at black plastic switch with a red button in the center and two wires,ones pink with a black tracer and the other should be dark green with a yellow tracer. locate your self a good ground point for your test light clamp and hook it up, (its very important that you find a good ground point or it will cause you to get false results causing you to replace unnecessary parts)now once you have a good ground spot take the other end of your test light and back probe the pink and black wire,now have a assistance cycle the key from the off to the start position while you watch the test light, if everything's right you should see the test light glow for ten seconds (if not check the # 13 position fuse in the fuse box under the hood) if your test light glowed in the last test, now move your test light probe to the dark green and yellow wire (the other wire on the switch) and recycle the key, you should again see the test light glow for ten seconds,(if not and you had a glow on the last test either your inertia switch is trip or bad) if you find you had a glow on the pink and black wire but noting on the dark green and yellow try depressing the red center button on the inertia switch and retest if still noting and you had a glow on the pink and black wire, replace the inertia switch. if you found that you had a test light glow on both sides of the switch your fuel pump is bad, the only other possiblity is the wiring between the inertia switch and the fuel pump, which is a very limited amount of wiring and I have not seen it before. hope this helps,let me know how you make out

you just got a bad egg mate most of those egines are fine sure nissan and opel use the same engine in there vans. you probly need a set of glow plugs they are very easy to fit and not to pricey.

if you need connectors and terminals for the glow plug connections under the valve cover, Ford sells then so you don't need a whole $600 harness.

info for your use

Section 03-07B: Glow Plug System 1996 F-250, F-350, F-Super Duty Equipped with 7.3L Diesel Engines Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Glow Plug System The 7.3L diesel engine uses a glow plug system which preheats air in the combustion chamber to improve cold engine starting. The system consists of eight glow plugs, the glow plug control module (12B533), powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650), engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor and barometric pressure sensor (BARO sensor) (12A644). The glow plug system is electronically controlled by the powertrain control module. The powertrain control module energizes the glow plugs immediately after the key is placed in the ON position and then determines how long the glow plugs will be on according to the engine oil temperature and the barometric pressure. The required time for the glow plugs to be energized decreases as the engine oil temperature and barometric pressure increase. The glow plugs are self-regulating, and the powertrain control module controls relay ON time. The powertrain control module protects the glow plugs by energizing them for short durations if the battery voltage is abnormally high.

Possible Causes: Insufficient glow plug ON time will not allow enough heat to accumulate in the combustion chamber to easily facilitate starting. If the glow plug system ON time does not meet any of the specifications in the accompanying chart the problem is most likely a faulty wire harness connection, ground connections or glow plug relay.

If the glow plug resistance to ground is high, the most likely causes are an open UVC (under valve cover) harness or open glow plug.
--------------------------------------------------------
Relay Operation
Install a DVOM on the glow plug feed side of the glow plug relay (large stud with two wires connected). Turn the ignition key to the ON position but do not attempt to start. Note the time in seconds from when the key is turned on and the glow plug relay energizes until the glow plug relay de-energizes. The glow plug relay makes a loud click noise which is easily heard when it energizes and de-energizes. The dome light will dim and the dash voltmeter will dip when the glow plugs are drawing current from the battery. Compare the times measured to the table (time will be affected by engine temperature, battery condition and vehicle altitude). The voltage at the glow plug feed terminal may vary from 9 to 12 volts depending upon battery condition.
--------------------------------------

-----
If battery voltage not present check for B+ at power supply terminal (terminal with single large wire). Power for glow plug power supply is supplied from starter relay through two fusible links at solenoid.
Glow Plug Operation
Disconnect all of the glow plug/injector harness connectors from the valve cover gaskets. With the pigtail installed, measure glow plug resistance to ground (preferably B-). A resistance measurement of .1 to 6 ohms indicates a good glow plug.



Glow Plug Harness Continuity
Measure for continuity from the connector harness to the glow plug feed terminal on the glow plug relay. Resistance should be less than 5 ohms.
Incorrect measurements will result if all glow plug/injector connectors to valve cover are not disconnected.

---------------------------------------------------
Glow Plug Relay The glow plug relay (12A343) has a plastic base and two mounting bolts. It is operated by the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) which senses engine oil temperature, PCM voltage and barometric pressure. When the engine oil temperature or the barometric pressure is low, the PCM activates the glow plug relay and the glow plugs. If the PCM voltage is too high, the powertrain control module deactivates the glow plug relay and the glow plugs immediately energize for a shorter duration, decreasing the modulation of the duty cycle.
-----------------------------------------------
Glow Plug Removal

1. WARNING: THE RED-STRIPED WIRING HARNESS CARRIES 115V DC. SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY BE RECEIVED. DO NOT PIERCE.
   Remove valve cover (6582). Refer to Section 03-01D .
   

1. Disconnect glow plug electrical connector using a pair of pliers.
   

1. Remove glow plug using 10mm socket.
   

1. Clean and inspect glow plug tip for damage. Replace if damaged.
   

Installation

1. Install glow plug and tighten to 19 Nm (14 lb-ft).
   

1. Connect glow plug electrical connector. Make sure glow plug wiring is routed to avoid moving parts.
   

--------------------------------------------------------------
Glow Plug Control Glow plugs are used to warm the cylinders to improve cold-engine starting. The PCM uses the engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor and barometric pressure (BARO) sensor to determine how long the glow plugs will be on. The PCM energizes the glow plugs longer if the engine is very cold or if the barometric pressure is low at high altitudes.
The PCM controls the relay that supplies power to the glow plugs with the glow plug control (GPC) signal. When the GPC signal is grounded by the PCM the relay closes, turning the glow plugs on.
The glow plugs are controlled by the following sequence:

1. PCM energizes the glow plugs.

1. The PCM energizes the glow plugs immediately after the ignition is placed in the ON position.

1. The PCM then determines how long glow plugs will be on based on EOT sensor and the BARO sensor. The required time to warm up the cylinder decreases the engine oil temperature and barometric pressure increases at low altitudes.

Glow Plug Lamp Control The glow plug lamp (GPL) signal controls the WAIT TO START light located on the instrument panel. This light is used to indicate when to start the engine. The cylinders are being warmed by the glow plugs during and after this light is lit. The PCM energizes the glow plug lamp longer if the engine is very cold or if the barometric pressure is low.
When the GPL signal is brought low, the "Wait to Start" lamp is turned on.
The glow plug lamp is controlled by the following sequence:

1. PCM lights the WAIT TO START light after a key on reset occurs.

The PCM determines the glow plug lamp activation time based on engine oil temperature, barometric pressure and battery voltage.

1. PCM turns off the WAIT TO START light.

The glow plug lamp is turned off when the timer counts to the number of seconds specified by the PCM. The glow plugs will normally remain on longer than the "Wait to Start" lamp.
