My glow plugs stopped cycling for more than about two seconds. It now starts hard in the morning, but no other time. I have a 1994 IDI turbo. What should I be looking at?

Hi,
this is typical if one or more is burnt out. Check with an ohmmeter or a test lamp; take the cables off them and measure between the tip and ground, they should be around 1 ohm. A burnt out plug does not lead current at all.

When you replace them get Motorcraft/ Beru plugs.
Autozone has the best price I have seen posted.

so motorcraft does use Beru? that's good. The dealership gives me a break on price, so I'll just get them there. Thanks a lot.
