Hey everyone,
Lately i have had trouble starting my 1996 75 series ute with i 1hz engine in it. Basically the problem is that in the mornings it will not start. it will turn over and that is it. I did the basics and checked the glow plug earth and connections. with no differance i changed out the glow plugs with brand new ones. still no change....

I was just wondering if anyone has had the same problem and what the problem was etc...

thanks heaps

not sure if this will work on the 1hz but can you manually fire the glow plugs with a wire from your battery to the glow plug bus bar? if you do this and it starts it might indicate your glow relay is busted.
