wait to start light

My "wait to start light" doesn't always come on. It eems like it does it after the truck has been driven for a while and then turned off for about 10 min. when i get back in it the light won't come on and i have to let the truck cool down before it will work again. it has a new glow plug controller on it.

it should not come on when your engine is warm. as long as the truck is starting alright it sounds like every thing is working fine

I pretty sure when you engine is warm it should come on shortly.

Have you checked the glow plugs?

The new style system uses resistance feedback to tell if the glow plugs are needed.
A faulty glow plug messes the resistance up, which messes up the glow plug controller
