Glow plugs are components used in diesel engines to aid in starting the engine. They heat up the air in the combustion chamber, making it easier for the engine to ignite the diesel fuel, especially in cold weather. When a diesel engine starts, the glow plugs heat up to a high temperature, creating a hot spot that assists in the combustion process. Once the engine is running and reaches operating temperature, the glow plugs are no longer needed and typically turn off. They are crucial for ensuring smooth starts and efficient operation in cold conditions
