Glow plugs are not needed unless ambient temps are below 7c/44F
Make sure the engine "shut off flap" is not stuck closed due to too
much carbon build-up... as well as the rest of the intake manifold
being clogged with too much carbon.
Minimum 280 to 300 cranking rpm is needed for non glow plug ignition.
