ISSUE:

A no start/hard start and/or long crank time may occur on some vehicles.  This may be caused by the glow plug relay.

Refer to the Instruction Sheet in the kit for installation details.

NOTE:

WHEN ORDERING AN ENGINE WIRING HARNESS FOR ANY REASON, MAKE SURE IT INCLUDES THE REVISED RELAY.  IF IT DOES NOT, USE THE FOLLOWING SERVICE KIT TO UPDATE THE HARNESS.

In addition to the Instruction Sheet, attach the wire adapter connector to the wiring harness conduit using a tie wrap as shown in Figure 1.  Early kits may not contain the tie wrap.  Obtain a 152mm (6") tie wrap locally.
