Do a search here for "clum relay". There are a bunch of posts. It's an inexpensive fix.

The timer starts the glow plug automatically when the ignition is turned to the first spot correct? Or do you have to manually hit the switch each time you start the engine?

Thanks again

The timer adds a switch. Starting is normal when cold. (ignition on, wait for light to go out or you hear it "click" off)
When hot, hold the switch for 12-15 seconds, then start)
