Arrgh! Easy start and glow plugs make unhappy bedfellows. When you get it fixed, don't use it. If you must use it disconnect the glow plugs first. The fact that easy start kicked it into life is interesting-and worrying. Ether works when either the injection pressure is too low to atomise the fuel, or the cylinder pressure is too low to ignite it. Do you get any grey/white smoke from the exhaust pipe when you crank it? In lieu of easy start, use a hair dryer on the hottest heat setting to blow hot air into the intake manifold or warm up the intercooler. This will make up for weak compression or injection. Then see if it starts. If it still doesn't, you then need to investigate if the injectors are supplying fuel. If there is fuel in the piston bowl, then I'm afraid the solution is going to be expensive. Happily, it might yet be a failing crank or cam sensor. But see if it's getting fuel first.
