An engine glow plug disconnection detection method may include: increasing, by a controller, temperature of a plurality of glow plugs by performing a rapid temperature increase mode when an engine start signal of a vehicle is recognized by the controller; determining whether the glow plugs are disconnected and the number of disconnections using an engine start early-stage voltage of the vehicle and a voltage of the vehicle when the rapid temperature increase mode is performed, by the controller; recognizing, by the controller, cylinders of an engine with at least a disconnected glow plug upon determining that one or more glow plugs are disconnected: and storing, by the controller, a number of disconnected glow plugs and information related to corresponding cylinders.
