So I was just bashin in the back yard when my Tmaxx just died my glow plug won't glow I was wondering if my ez start for my plug went out it still turns but the plug will not glow does this happen a lot
:whhooo:
 
could be a few things: battery on your ez start could be low enough to turn over the motor but not heat the plug. glow plug could be bad. yellow ground wire might not have a good ground contact. blue wire could also be bad at the tip, or have a bad connection. i still use my ez start, but i ditched the blue/yellow wires and went with a glow plug Igniter. works so much better, and my ez start battery lasts twice as long, as it's only drawing power to turn the motor. it took me awhile to convince myself go that route, but once you do you will solve all your problems !
 
so i got new ones but still no glow i am going to get a glow igniter i think
 
alot of times i see that the blue wire gets pushed up inside the ezstart

when you try and crank it over do both light light up?
 
Do you know anyone with a spare starter wand? The wands are known to stop igniting the glow plugs, if you like the ez start I would just grab a seperate ignitor and ditch the blue and yellow wires. If your not too attached to it, ditch it all together and go pull start.
 
What would be wrong with the yellow wire is it an easy fix or do I have to order something to fix it
