Re: Winter Operation

Thank you gentlemen. I'm glad it helped.

You shouldn't need much more than 15 sec at those temps and never more than 1 min. at any temperature. You want the glow plugs to stay lit for awhile after the engine has fired up. By waiting for 2 min. before starting, the timer will have ran out.

I don't know enough about the system. My understanding is that at temps around freezing you will not get a full 2 min. therefore, you don't want to wait too long.
