IDI COMMUTE & GLOW PLUG BYPASS

Every start is a cold start

[@nicksmith-rz2dl]

Nice to see a fellow Pennsylvaniain with a idi.

[@michaelbenoit248]

Did the same thing 2yrs ago. Had a 7.3 Powerstroke, & bought an IDI.

[@myyracommunity4932]

be careful about starting it right after a 15 sec or longer glow plug time, you need to wait for 2 or 3 secs before crancing, the cold fuel sprayed onto the glowing plug can cause it to break and snap in half.

Is it possible for you to help me with this same issue? Why is it that when I applied the exact same method you used with my 93 Ford 7.3 idi but I got no spark when I disconnected the glow plug wire harness and touch the constant power post on my glow plug controller?

[@sabbath7081]

What starter is in that cuz it sounds different than a lot of the starters in the normal IDI trucks this one almost sounds like the starter they use on a powerstroke.

[@eekthecat9933]

If you don't have glow plugs . You are safe to use starting fluid .

[@S.S.Poseidon]

What company do you own to have a full tank of diesel?! I 20 dollar my 7.3 at a time 😂

[@jaydenvinson7908]

What is hooked to the firewall

[@cfh4201969]

The starter relay

[@BeamerTheFox]

what a smoky mess lol i love these old iDi's

[@cfh4201969]

You could have just replaced the whole glow plug relay/module, they are not expensive. Or replaced the relay on the module with the relay you bought

[@runawayclutchdump1546]

They’re not interchangeable, they’re grounded differently

[@z1catfish]

over complicated...
Just connect the white wire on the glow plug relay to switch to ground.
You now activate the GPR manually.
Simple...
