If you are considering finding another alternative relay that may work better, make sure you
check into the internal wiring configuration of the relay as well as the amps.

If you use the wrong configuration, there is a chance of frying your pcm. For example, a starter relay cannot be used even though it looks similar b/c it grounds through the mounting base. Therefore, if u wire the small power wire to it, the glow plugs will always be on when the key is on.
