Ok I am slowly getting this diesel's issues worked out, still chasing a small fuel leak from the injector replacement. Just got the new fitting kit so that may help.

Other issue is the P1263 code and the CEL for the glowplug, my harness appears to be on straight. Glowplugs sourced from Summit racing.

However, I cant find anyway to get to the plug, do I really have to remove the intake manifold or am I missing something?

#1 is easy. Really need to get this worked out so I can order my GBE eco-tune.

For #2 (second one back from front of engine) you'll need to remove that T shaped bracket that goes from the alternator to the intake manifold. Should be pretty easy to reach it after that.

Thanks if Keith is right about the white band #1 which he almost always is, my harness should be good.

I was ready to look into #3 when I learned that P1263 is actually cylinder 2.

Oh and I read somethign really weird, apparently the sprinter guys remove the glowplugs after heating up the engine? Anyone ever hear of anything like this?

When you pull the connector off the glow plug, measure its resistance to ground before you trouble to unscrew it. For example from the tip of the plug to the intake manifold you should get .6 ohm on a good plug and a lot more on a bad one. Like 30 ohms up to infinity. Never heard about disconnecting them when it's started.

Gonna have the local diesel mechanic do it, he says one hour of labor knowing it is blocked by the T bracket infront of the manifold and I supply the parts.

Even if its two hours it isnt even dealer rate and I trust his hands more than I do mine on this.

If he does a good job might pay him to install a new TQ converter.
