Motor Dies when Igniter removed

[Bighomedog11]

Hey I have a tmaxx with the 3.3 engine in it. It has been sitting for awhile but i put new fuel in there that i had in my basement. I notice that when i remove the glow igniter the engine will stall. But when the glow igniter is in there it will stay running. I am trying to figure out what could be the problem? Could it be a bad glow-plug?

That would be the first thing i did was replace the plug and see if that helps. If not try some new fuel and see but as long as the fuel wasn't exposed to sunlight and was closed up good it should still be good. But i would bet on it being the plug

Yeah I am going to try a new plug, And the fuel has been sitting in a dark area in my basement so it should be good.

Very often it's a sign of the LSN being set too rich. Lean it out a little at a time after the engine is warmed up.

I am betting plug too, I have had this happen several times, and it always turned out to be a bad plug.

Yeah i am going to try a new plug because this plug has been sitting in the engine and the truck has been sitting for a few months

I got a new Glow Plug and that fix the problem.. Engine runs now
