Check the wires on the ezstart and the ground on the chassis.

thanks i will try now and let you know what happens

are you talking about yellow wire

Ditch the blue wire and get a separate ignitor when funds allow. In the mean time, do what bergoff said. To test your plug, take it out, attach the blue wire, touch the side of it to the cooling head and crank the engine over. If it doesn't glow, it's either bad or you have a bad connection. Make sure the battery is making a good connection in the wand and that your battery is good and charged as well.

Yeah the yellow wire. I agree with Matt on the glow plug wire. I ditched mine and bought a glow ignitor works much better your ezstart will last longer.

I had a problem with my wand, it would allow the ez start to work but would not heat the glow plug..
best thing i have done to the truck was get rid of the ez start
I now have a glow plug ignitor and roto-start backplate..
it weighs less and starting is a piece of cake now..
HIGHLY recommend seperate ignitor and a roto-start backplate

theres a short in the harness, or your handheld unit is bad... most likely, the handheld is bad. PM me if you need a new one, i have several i haven't used

dont pay any attention to the lights on a ez-start. i tossed my ez-start bat. set up to power the ez-start hand wand from your street truck batt. it is good ONLY if you can get close to your bash/race area. i have an instruction set. [email protected] this mod may not be for everyone.

hello i have a question for anyone to awnser i have a t maxx 2.5r and my motor shuts down when it gets hot.

Sounds like it's lean and/or has an air leak. Start a new thread. Search tuning and sealing using the search feature.

back in the dark ages my dad told me to check the easyest/cheepest things first., ignition, fuel, compression. close to the best advise i ever got.
