When i put a new glow plug everything work fine for some ml of fuel and then i had the same symptoms. The glow plugs that i used was C7TF and C8TGH.
Now i run by using one RB 7 turbo CP-02 . It hasn't run a lot of fuel till now but i am afraid that it will have the same luck since RB plugs are the same with Nova's.
I found at the forum that i could try also Sirio,GRP Picco and O'Donnell.
But it wasn't clear the models of them.
So my question is what are the corespondive plugs of a Nova C8TGH? Also the colder plug from O'donnell is the 99T. Is it quite cold for a N21 7T or it is for buggy engines?
if the plug is still showing resistance then it is going to be a issue with your igniter.....You may not have enough juice to burn off the contamination from the high oil fuel..........even if your ignitor is reading full it may not have enough pop to heat up the heavy wired #8 plug once its contaminated by oil residue.......
