IT's just a heating coil.... That is all....By how you guys are saying this it sounds like glow plugs are diesel spark plugs, but this is not the case. Just to clarify this diesel engines don't use glow plugs as its igniter like a gasoline engine uses spark plugs. A diesel engine uses glow plugs to warm up the engine because when its cold its harder for the diesel fuel to ignite under compression.
