God day,
I have read this post today first, so this answer is maybe too late.
Anyway, it seems to me that maybe some start in the wrong end of the line.
I suggest:
- Clean and check !!!! the fuel-separator.
- Change fuel-filter
- Change air-filter (!)
- Check the return to tank that it is open.
- Check fuel-pressure (after lifting-pump)
- Run the car with diesel from a separat tank.
Maybe, if you haven´t found any fault, you can have
the high-pressure pump tested. However I will
say it is most likely lack of fuel, nothing else.
Best regards from Sweden
