Isnt the sensor below the air filter, in the intake manifold? Does the
intake not have coolant passing through parts of it? I had thought the glow
plug sensors monitored coolant temp... I could see where air in the cooling
system could cause a problem, but I cant imagine it would be that hard to
get out.
I have been wrong before though.....

What does a block heater have to do with glow plugs? Two different systems.
The glow plug sensor has nothing to do with the water in the cooling system.
What are you talking about? The block heater heats the water in the cooling
system which heats the engine block. What does it have to do with wait
light of if the system is manual or auto? If you had a problem it was
because of faulty temp sensor in glow plug system which is located under air
filter, not air in the system.

Stu,
Auto part of Derry opposite 2nd right turn from
traffic light downtown...head towards Parkland
Hospital South Avenue is the street you
want...down the street on the right. I got a 600
watt for my M-1009 for $20. Do you have your glow
plug system converted to manual? Disconnect it if
you didn't as when you install the new block
heater it will take a half a dozen trips to the
store to work all the air out when you. When
Larry replaced mine the wait light was lit the
whole ride back from Weare. If I hadn't already
converted mine to a manual button it would have
burned out all my glow plugs. Another reason I
prefer manual control.
Kindly forgive me but I am having a brain cramp
this morning and can't remember the name of the
block heater I use but it is red in color and $20
at Derry auto parts so you shouldn't have too
much trouble using it.
It takes one hour at 0 F. to make a significant
difference in how the engine starts with it
plugged in. Leave it on overnight and it starts
very easily.
