a glow plug and a spark plug are two different things to my knowledge - nizhoni1, JUN 7, 2010
Yes, they are. Similar function, but different. A sparkplug sparks, a glow plug glows - KevinB, JUN 7, 2010

I think he wants the definition of "glow plug" and defining what a glow plug is for those not mechanically learned - nizhoni1, JUN 7, 2010

Glow Plug (diesel) is Bujía, or "Precalentador" / "Calentador" in Spanish.

Maybe he wants to know what they are called in Spanish. I have a feeling newcomers to the site think this is a totally automated search engine of sorts, just plug in some words and see what happens.
