I have a 97 6.5 TD. I left the contact switch on (with the engine off) for about 20-30min last night by accident. Now she wont start. I get a lot of smoke as she turns over so I have to assume she's getting fuel, but I don't think the glow plugs are turning on. Help!

Update! I had this problem with my truck several years ago so I remembered how to get her started again. Using jumper cables I jumped the + battery terminal to the solenoid that controls the glow plugs. Immediately, she'll start right up and run like the beast she is. But I remember that last ime I had this problem, I changed the solenoid and the problem continued and it only happened when it was cold out. I later had to change the PMD and I didn't have the problem again. Now I don't believe the PMD and this problem are related, but I don't know. Like I said, last time, this problem was intermittent and just went away (maybe because it got warmer or maybe b/c of the new PMD). Any insight to this would be greatly appreciated.

What controls the glow plug solenoid to turn on & off?

'We listed a Perkins diesel on DieselEngineTrader.com, had numerous inquiries from US and Europe and sold it within a week. Very pleased with your website.'

Ken Ginter, Arizona, USA

'The engine was on other sites, but we received the most calls from DieselEngineTrader.com. We sold it to the first caller-from DieselEngineTrader.com. Also, there was a waiting list on the engine if the first sale fell through! Thanks for the great service!'

Fran Trapp, South Carolina, USA
