what is the warmest outside temperature that you would want glowplugs opperating? i would put a thermostat in line with the ground from the IDM. too easy to forget a switch. i work in the HVAC field so I have access to all kinds of temperature controls. seems like you really wouldnt need GPs in weather warmer than say 55 degrees? thats easy. you could use a fixed temp or adjustable temperature control. I prefer to just let the pcm do its thing.

GP's assist in starting and warm up.
Even at 55 degrees, the engine is running at really poor efficiency.
The Stancor relay is more than just bigger contacts. Just a better build in general.
You can wire the GPR to only turn on with certian settings.
check dzl jims page for it.

he has a write up with wiring it in with a coolant control option, stock, or off.

I dont have any money Ken, Did you go?
How come your not down in Taylor at Hooters with them?
I got free beer if I show up, but still will cost me 25 dollars in fuel to get there and back from Fenton.

Well, Diesel is about heat and pressure.
So, if you have no GP's, it wouldn't work so swift.
Unplug your GPR and start it up in 50 degree weather, it will throw a fit.
If you get a rough start with it plugged in in fair weather, then its usually GP related.
Or UVCH related.
