Engine cuts out under load & glow plug light flashes

diesel glow pugs only come on until the engine is hot enough to sustain combustion. It sounds like urs is not staying on causing the issue. Use an OBGII to determine issue.

change the glow plug relay.

Change the glow plugs and see if that fixes the problem.

In my case, the flashing glow plug indicator is caused by me replacing the stop lights with LED bulbs. Therefore, a cause for this flashing indication could be a blown stop light lamp. The test for this condition is; while the glow plug indicator is flashing, press and release the break pedal. This should stop the indicator from flashing. Check your stoplights. Or add a load resistor to your LED lamps if you have fitted these.

The light you are describing is the glow plug light (It will come one for a moment when you first start the vehicle in the cold, telling you that the glow plugs are pre-heating in order to ignite the fuel in a cold engine.

The glow plug light flashing could indicate faults with crankshaft sensor , throttle sensor, camshaft sensor or a number of other things, unfortunately, the only way you are going to find out is to get someoen to read the fault code that will have been recorder by the ECU. Your local garage will probably be able to do this cheaper than your dealer. If you call them up and say "My glowplug light was flashing and cut the engine, are you able to read the fault code from the ECU and tell me the problem?" you will probably get a "Yes" from most garages. You should be able to get them to give you a price for reading the code from the ECU, but of course the price to then fix the fault will have to wait until they know what the fault code is.

jaguar x-type 2ltr diesel 2004 the glow plug warning light flashing, was told dirty fuel on fault code all fuel changed and filters. No problems for 20 miles untill engine was put under power on high revs went into limp mode, warning light glow plug falshing again? any ideas thanks.

does the glow plug/coil light flash at all???? once would indicate glow plug relay fault! three times would indicate FUEL pump failure! sorry never experienced two flashes....

Kind regards

most likely bad glow plugs and wire harness. take a test light attach to positve side of battery and touch the top of the glow plug see the one that does not light the test light up is your bad one then look in the harness at the connectors if the are dull and not shiney you will need to replace the harness just take the harness and cut and **** connect them together it is easier than running to ecm. good luck. also check you air filter make sure it is not clogged.

IF HE GLOW PLUG LIGHT IS FLASHING THEN U HAVE BURNT OUT GLOW PLUGS.

this means you most likely have a burnt out glow plug or glow plug timer control or both
