when your glow plug fails whist you're having fun

thank god i keep plenty of spare plugs

my car died in the middle of running it then when i let it idle and would only start if i had the throttle open slightly & lone behold my plug is glowing but the lower portion is not.

and to be honest I'm quite surprised that i did not start messing with my tune to get it running again instead i recognized it was a bad plug,

So i sort of have a question can any of you tell if you have a bad plug by the way its running or lack of wanting to run ?
 
Yes. If i all the sudden start having idle or performance issues after its been running great i always pull plug and check it first before messing with my tune. Usually i see what you did. Only part of the element glowing or not glowing very bright at all. Knowing its the plug and not my ignitor due to the fact that i keep my ignitors charged as often as i do my hump packs.
 
Just because a plug glows does not mean its good. Voltage will cause it to glow but the platinum may not be causing the reaction it is supposed to.

Little Johnny is in the bathroom taking a pee, when the toilet seat falls down on his penis. He starts screaming and crying. His mom comes running into the room wondering what's going on.
He tells his mother, "Mommy, the toilet seat fell on top my penis. Kiss it better!"
"Johnny," said his mother, "Your getting more and more like your father every day!"
