Abstract
A system for analyzing a diesel engine and transmitting data regarding faults within the diesel engine. Many diesel engines include glow plugs. The electrical characteristics of glow plugs are related to temperatures within the diesel engine which, in turn, are related to the operational characteristics of the diesel engine. The system measures the electrical characteristics of a glow plug, or other sensors, to determine attributes of the diesel engine and responsively provide a display representative of the operational characteristics.
