I'm not sure what you mean by "glow plug." Could you elaborate?

If it just stopped running for no apparent reason, a number of things could be possible, e.g., fuel filter, electrical connection, dirt in the injectors, fuel pump, overheating, etc. It could also be faulty plug wires. I had a Mustang once that would stop running whenever it rained. Moisture was working its way through the insulation on the plug wires. New wires cured it instantly.

We really need more details.
