    The voltage to the glow system is cut when over a certain amount of revs (i think 2400), keeping it under this limit while kicking it to live might help a bit as well.

    Altough, the glow system for a diesel would be wired such to stop at more then 2400 revs (or so). You could try to listen to the relay when hitting more then 2400 revs?
