I doubt the glow plugs would cause this. Almost certain, in fact.

Regarding the "failed" glow plugs - if you have recently replaced them, did you also replace the glow plug controller? Many failures thought to be glow plug failures are actually a failure of the glow plug controller output.



I have recently replace all six glow plugs and the controller.
