Default Car Trouble

i had my buggy runnin fine then i ran outta gas. i put gas in it and then got something to eat for about 10 minutes. i came back out and couldnt start it. i pulled the glow plug out and the little wire thing was off so i got a new plug. i finally got it started but right when i pulled the glow ignitor out it stalled. i did it again and it did the samething. i did it one more time but i drove about witht the ignitor in ir for about 3 minutes and i was goin good, but right when i pulled the ignitor out it stalled. i have a feeling this is bad. can anyone tell me whats wrong. thanks

Try another new glow plug.
Is the new glow plug the same type as the one you used first?

use a cold plug, and make sure it is not running too rich.

Did the metal coil inside the glow plug completely fall out?
