P1399 is the "Wait To Start Lamp Circuit" - Glow plugs are for diesels last time I checked, but correct me if i'm wrong. Is your distributor connected in the right order, is your timing correct, have you recently done any work to the vehicle?

yeah.... now that i remember about the glow plugs, it is for diesel engines but ummm i recently moved the timing on the distributor and since then i have troubles with my engines rpm at idling... becuase my 98 drops down to almost 100 rpms at idling but could this be just because of bad timing????
