It is just the stupid glow plug controller. Disconnect it and replace it with a manual push button.

I assume you mean a manual push button????? Perhaps $2 at Radio Shack, plus you need some wire. There are a lot of posts on here about hooking it up. With the original controller, the plugs will come on a few times after the engine is running, that is normal. It is not needed however.

Your controller may cycle a couple of times in cold weather. If you have Delco 60G glowplugs then you shouldn't have a problem.
