Why won't my Citroen Xsara Picasso start?

I drive a 2006 Citroen Xsara Picasso 1.6 diesel. The other I started it and it cut out. It now won't start. Can you help?

We would suggest that you check
1. All air/vacuum pipes/connections.
2.The idle air control valve ( IAC)
3.Evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge valve
4.Throttle valve/sticking/linkage /housing
5.MAF ( mass air flow sensor)
