Pulled FPR out but did not find the screen. Is the screen behind the spring and triangular metal piece? Do you have to remove something else to get to the screen?

ok. cleaned fpr screen.

unplugged ICP.

while cranking the engine there is white smoke coming from the tailpipe.

the fuel bowl is filling up with fuel while it is cranking and the fuel pressure seems to be on the weak side.

Still sounds like a pump to me. If you can, get a fuel pressure reading.

also there are 2 connectors on each valve cover with 5 wires on each plug. they controll your glow plugs and injectors. every now and then they will burn up. try unplugging each connector and look for burnt pins or bad wiring going to the connector. also take off the oil fill cap and passenger side valve cover and smell for a burnt smell.

Gonna pull icm and check that. He tried putting my IPR on his truck and still nothing. If ICM swap does not do the trick he is gonna take it to the shop.
