This guy is a great teacher for these young guys. 👏 its nice to see someone teach them all the correct diagnostic procedures. Keep up the good work my man!
This is by far the best video to help with diagnosing this problem in a clear way. Unfortunately RUclips makes it very hard to find. I am not sure how their search works but might be worth looking into. Thanks for the help!
Sterling Broyles, thank you, yes it should cycle for 2-3 seconds 2 times or 3 times, depending on how cold the engine is... if it cycles all the time it means there is a fault in the circuit... you can follow the steps in the video to troubleshoot it... Good Luck!!!
Sir i followed everything tested and replaced relay . Upon placing replay to engine block relay popped . Whats your advice. To find issue . Im considering a manual switch conversion
Hey I have a 99 Savana 3500 6.5. It was stalling when I bought it and I replaced and relocated the pmd. Now I have issues with start. It cranks but won't start. Have to pump the gas to start it normally but when this happens it's like nothing is happening when I push on the pedal. I got it running twice, but white smoke came out of the tailpipe and I freaked out both times and shut it off. Now I can't get it to start again. The old owner used a block heater, but I can't where it's currently stuck. I just drove it 45 miles no crazy issues or dash lights on. But I didn't get any acceleration going up even small inclines. There is a big hole in the muffler though so I figure that didn't help. But I'm worried it may be connected to starting it. Any suggestions on what I can test? And where/how I do it on a van chassis. Still waiting on a service manual
Patrick Conrad check your fuel filter make sure there is a good flow of fuel getting to the pump, after that if it keeps Acting up, Get the injectors and injection Pump Tested by a Diesel Specialist!
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair awesome thank you for responding! Ill definitely do that. Unfortunately just stop on the side of a semi busy road so checking the fuel systems has been tough. You think if I get it running I'll be safe to move it about a mile? Also I heard glow plugs maybe another issue as well. Figure if I can't get it started I might as well test those while I wait on a tow?
CRAIG BERUBE yes, a defective relay can cause that, the wait to start light is grounded by the computer, the computer turns the wait to start light off after the relay is de energized... there is a return wire to the computer that gets battery voltage when the relay is on...
Simple diagnostic process, great teacher no BS and free sharing of his knowledge 👍🏽

Zachary Moser you're welcome and I'm glad the video is helpful
Excellent video and diagnostics. I recommend you start the vehicle to show us the hard cold start problem solved. Thanks

Good video....I dissected some failed ones and noticed that the contact kind of spot welds itself and sticks if you don't replace soon enough....
Michael Mounts Thank you!!
Very thorough. Great video.
Don Carmen Thank you!!!
The first video made sense thank you
@timothyvelasquez8787 My Pleasure!
Thank you. I learned a lot. What did you use to clean the electrical terminal on the glow plug?
colorocko1 I used a spray can of electrical connector cleaner... you can get it at your local parts store!!
Great video! is the relay supposed cycle on and off every 2-3 seconds? Mine is on for 3 seconds off for 3 seconds over and over.

@timothyvelasquez8787 it sounds like you have a short somewhere in the wiring, I recommend you find it first!

Very good
Giles Smith Thank you!!
Does the rely connect thru the alternater?
@TylerKontis-ow6gs No!
Was the glow plug light coming on initially?
Dave O yes the Glow plug light was staying on for a little long
Thank you
Greg Smith My Pleasure!!!
Hi , what about the wait light ? In my truck it is no longer staying on for right amount of time ! Is that relevant to the relay ?
CRAIG BERUBE yes, a defective relay can cause that,
the wait to start light is grounded by the computer, the computer turns the wait to start light off after the relay is de energized... there is a return wire to the computer that gets battery voltage when the relay is on...
great video! mine clicks on and off.
@buttondeity3933 Thanks, Do the same tests
