As has already been said, Easy Start is the best way to cause serious engine damage. A diesel engine is a compression ignition engine and relies on the intake air reaching a minimum temperature when compressed. The introduction of any combustible substance will cause detonation. In short the expanding gasses resulting from the Easy Start burning well before injection takes place will be trying to force the piston down the cylinder while the cranskshaft is trying to push it up. Something has to give, and that's likely to be a con-rod which will become mis-shaped, and normal compression will be reduced further. This is why that say engines become 'addicted' to Easy Start, because in fact they actually do.
You might have a fault with the high pressure pump or injector nozzles. A common rail diesel engine needs to achieve a fuel rail pressure of 10,000kpa before the engine will start.
