glow plug light flickering off and on.

I did a seach and couldn't find anything. Car starts and runs fine, but on acceleration from a stop the glow plug light flickers and comes on and off, then once you are up to speed it stays off. What do you think it is? It is a 96 e300 diesel. 87000 miles. I am the third owner and just picked it up three weeks ago, so I don't know the maintenance history.

Can't get my ESP light to stop flickering on acceleration

My ESP light always flickers on acceleration unless I barely touch the accelerator pedal.

Typically when a glow plug light goes off & on intermittently, a glow plug/plugs are going bad.
