Bosch Glow Plugs
In cold weather, properfly functioning glow
plugs are critical for diesel engine start-up. Poorly performing
glow plugs can cause a hard or no-start engine condition,
poor idling during initial start-up, and/or engine oil dilution
due to excessive cranking. That's why Bosch original equipment
quality glow plugs are an essential part of every tune-up,
and are available for American, Japanese and European diesel
cars and light trucks. Trust Bosch diesel engine parts for
the ultimate in diesel engine performance.

Diesel Engine Hard Starting Tips
Has your diesel engine been starting a little hard
lately? Hard starting is probably the one topic that we get asked
about the most. You may have a problem with your glowplugs or controller.
But there are many things that can affect how your diesel engine
is starting.
Here are some important things you should check:
Glow Plugs and Controller
Many diesel engines utilize glow plugs and controllers to assist
with starting. Burned out glow plugs or a malfunctioning controller
are two very common problems with diesel engines that greatly affect
startability. These are some of the first things to look at since
they are relatively easy to check. Go to our controllers
page for prices on controllers.
Cranking Speed
If your diesel engine is turning too slow when you try to start
it, you may have a problem with your connections, starter or battery(s).
Diesel engines need to turn relatively quickly to build the heat
and compression needed to ignite the fuel / air mixture. Many things
can contribute to worn starters and batteries, from a malfunctioning
alternator to poor connections. See our electrical
page for starters and alternators.
Injection Pump and Injectors
A worn or malfunctioning injection pump will not provide sufficient
fuel that is needed fuel to start a diesel engine, and worn or malfunctioning
injectors may not be atomizing the fuel properly to mix with the
compressed air. These are two common items that may need some attention
as well. See our pumps and injectors page
for more information on these items.
Compression
A diesel engine needs good compression to start properly. Compression
builds heat, and that heat is very important to get the engine started
quickly. Low compression is normally found on engines with high
miles / hours, or with something that has prematurely gone wrong
with the engine. A compression check at a qualified shop should
be performed. See our engine kits
page for more information on these items.
Timing
Fuel needs to be injected into the cylinders at the precise moment
for optimum starting. Timing should always be checked by a qualified
shop with the proper equipment.
Air In Fuel Supply
If your engine starts well when it is warm or hot, but not after
it has been shut off for short or extended periods, you may have
a simple problem of air getting into your fuel supply line when
it sits for a certain amount of time. Diesel fuel injection pumps
are designed to deliver small amounts of precisely metered fuel
to the injectors. The presence of air will usually create an air
lock that is very difficult to overcome by cranking on your engine.
This simple problem can be difficult to track down to the exact
location, and may exist anywhere from your fuel tank right up to
your injection pump inlet.
