Hi Ivan

Have you checked the glow plugs, if one or more are faulty or there is no 12v supply to them it would make starting very difficult. Does it blow out blue/white smoke while you are trying to start it? There ar a couple of electrical connections to the pump, one is cold start advance, check there is voltage on them if not connect a supply from the battery and see if that makes it start.

If it fires but will not run that points to the pump timing being out, probably retarded. I would double check the timing.

I'd suggest getting the codes read. I'm sorry to say that sounds exactly like what happened to me when the pump munched itself.
