Common Glow Plug Problems We ResolvE
Hard Starting in Cold Weather
If your diesel engine cranks but won't start on cold mornings, failing glow plugs are often the culprit. We diagnose the root cause and restore reliable cold-weather starting.
Excessive White Smoke During Startup
White smoke during cold starts typically indicates incomplete fuel combustion due to insufficient glow plug heating. Our service eliminates this problem and reduces emissions.
Rough Idle When Cold
When glow plugs don't provide adequate heat, engines run roughly until they warm up. Professional glow plug service restores smooth operation from the moment you start your vehicle.
Check Engine Light Related to Glow Plugs
Modern diesel engines monitor glow plug performance through the ECM. We clear error codes and address the underlying issues that trigger warning lights.
