glow plug light flicker
I did a seach and couldn't find anything. Car starts and runs fine, but on acceleration from a stop the glow plug light flickers and comes on and off, then once you are up to speed it stays off. What do you think it is? It is a 96 e300 diesel. 87000 miles. I am the third owner and just picked it up three weeks ago, so I don't know the maintenance history.

Look at what tells the glow plug circuit to power up. A relay, a timer, wires that might be touching each other since it happens at low rpm it sounds like it might be vibration related. I would look for loose connections very possibly in a gang plug where everything is very close and easy to bump other wires.

I am on it. will get back with you. Temp has been in the -0 area currently so I will weight for a warm up before i climb under the hood. Thanks. I have noteced that if i beat on the glow blug relay the light does not flicker for a while so i have a new relay ordered.
