I have a '95 F350 that I am assuming that the glowplug controller is not functioning properly. I do not think the problem is with the plugs or the relay because (1) I replaced the relay a few years ago when I started having cold start issues but there was no change, and (2) it starts fine if I turn the ignition on and jump the terminals of the relay for 20 or 30 seconds. (I have no issues if it's plugged in, but that's not always possible).
So my question is: What controls the timing of the glowplugs? Is it the PCM? If that's the case, is it simply a matter of replacing it?
I've had this issue for more than 10 years but am finally getting to the age where I would prefer not to jump through all of the hoops to start the truck on a cold day.
