Ok since the glow plug light has been activated the first thing you will need to have done is check the fault in the engine control module with a capable scan tool since the light is coming on hen you know there are faults in the system you may have a mass air flow sensor issue but check the faults first . I hope this helps.

Please dont forget to click accept for my time and knowledge thank you !
