Starting a diesel engine without glow plugs may seem daunting, but it is actually quite simple. Glow plugs are only necessary in cold weather to help the diesel fuel burn properly and get the engine running smoothly. Once they’ve been removed or disconnected, starting a diesel engine is much like starting any other type of motor vehicle. To start a diesel engine without glow plugs, begin by checking all fluid levels including oil, fuel and coolant as these will affect how well your engine runs when started. Next make sure that your battery has enough power to operate the starter motor correctly; if not then check for corrosion on the terminals and ensure all connections are secure before recharging or replacing it accordingly. Once these steps have been taken you can proceed with cranking up your engine—start by turning off all electrical accessories such as wipers and lights then turn on ignition switch while simultaneously pumping accelerator pedal once or twice before cranking the starter motor until you hear an audible sound indicating that your fuel system has built up pressure ready for combustion followed by engaging clutch and allowing normal start-up procedure to take place
