I am looking for some expertise on the glow plug setup in a 1986 LJ 70 with 2.4 lt turbo. The previous owner disconnected the factory glow plug timer and relay and replaced it all with a murphy switch and 7 volt glow plugs. The glow plugs were all burned out when I purchased the vehicle. I have replaced the glow plugs with Bosche 6 volt Part #19850-54071 then put in a 30 AMP variable resistor set at 6.2 volts. This has helped with starting but she still cranks hard to start. I have tried holding the switch on for about 25 seconds up to 3 times to heat the cylinders and still, she cranks hard to fire.
Any ideas on how I can make this set up work for me?
