John Deere 445 running rough

[Richard001]

When running it spits and sputters and keeps dying

Does this happen at all throttle settings?

Does it run long enough to warm up?

What do the plugs look like, lean, rich or?

It happens at all throttle settings.
Will not run longer than 10 seconds.

Left side spark plug is soaked, right side spark plug is dry

I don稚 know why, but the glow plug light keeps randomly flashing.... and I know this doesn稚 have spark plugs

If you have spark plugs then it is either a 425 or 445, the later has EFI. So if you saying this has a glow plug light coming then it must be the 455 which is diesel. So you have confused us all with what you have posted.

It痴 a 445 fuel injected It痴 not diesel

Would a compression test tell you anything?

It's time for some basic trouble shooting.
- Check for proper valve gap adjustment
- Check for spark on both plugs
- Remove the throttle body, intake manifold and gaskets
- check for proper fit of gaskets or perhaps even missing gaskets
- Re-install the gaskets, intake manifold and throttle body - make sure that the assembly bolts are torqued properly.
- Check for proper fuel pump pressure

Can you explain this post:

What light is flashing?

What engine is in the machine?
