- Glow Plug, 1975-1985 - Diesel engines use highly compressed hot air to ignite fuel. In cold weather, this compression process may not heat the air sufficiently to ignite the fuel and start the engine. A glow plug helps raise the combustion chamber's air temperature. The glow plug seen here is from a 1980s Mercedes.
