Disclosed are a temperature-controllable glow plug assisted compression ignition methanol engine and a control method thereof. The requirements of methanol combustion on temperature in different engine working conditions can be satisfied by using temperature-controllable glow plugs, methanol is directly injected into an engine combustion chamber by a fuel injector, and a methanol mixture can be stably and reliably ignited through temperature-controllable glow plugs in the combustion chamber. By controlling temperature of the glow plug and an excess air coefficient of the methanol mixture in a cylinder, the ignition and combustion of the engine in different working conditions can achieve the optimal effect. The coordinated control of the temperature of the glow plug and the excess air coefficient enables the stable combustion of the methanol engine and makes the compression ignition methanol engine achieve the best economy and power.
