plug it in over night, you should have a block heater already installed. take out your glowplugs and with the wire still attached turn the keys and test them.the whole plug should turn orange

your block heater is burnt out,I just replaced my block heater because it was burnt out.And some glow plugs,replace all of them with Delco 60G glow plugs.They are pretty easy to replace.
