Been working on an article regarding the controller card,
but WORK comes first.

On Ebay, item 8010346978, there is a controller card up for auction.

Look at the photo:
you will see two YELLOW capacitors,top center, side by side
and along the left side, middle down,
another smaller, again YELLOW, capacitor.

The 2 larger ones are 47 uF
and the small one is a 10 uf.

These parts tend to go bad with age and cause all sorts of timing
problems for your glow plugs.

Replace them with "GOOD" low leakage capacitors.

Another tidbit, the intergrated circuit is a LM3900 quad
comparitor. If you live in a COLD area, make sure that this
part is rated for -40F.

Ted.
