I had my 86 for 10 years and only replaced the glow plugs once...cold starts were never a problem, never burned out the relay or the plugs....if your plugs come on and cycle, that means there are working the way the're meant to, so put your mind to rest.

Cold idle info.....from an old post
Very easy...
Find a switched power from under your dash panel, run it to a switch, then the other side of the switch to the High Idle Solenoid on the Injection Pump... But cut the wire leading up to the high idle solenoid, and install a diode with band side facing towards the solenoid, then land your homemade idle circuit wire there (between the diode and solenoid). This will keep you from feeding power back into the circuit and also keep you from engaging the timing advance when you manual control is engaged. But the system will still function just like stock, ie. no change will be seen or felt.
go to local radio shack and get a (this is from memory) 4001 diode... I can't seem to remember the part number on the diode but it has a 4001 if I remember correctly...
