I pretty sure the 88' does not have an emergency fuel cut-off switch. The IDI Diesels use manual fuel lift pumps till atleast 94.5'.
I am not sure about the PSD's but I have worked on my 91 and 93 long enough and never have come across an emergency fuel cut-off valve.

I think we might be looking in the wrong direction. If the IP, glow plugs and Fuel Shutoff Solenoid check out and the engine turns over well, it's got to be something else. Have you tried taking out the Schraeder valve and volume testing the lift pump? You should get one cup of fuel in 30 seconds of cranking the engine. It could also be a clog in the return lines to the tanks. Here's a diagnosis page to run through: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/9084/idi.html Let us know what checks out and what seems to be sub-par. Good luck
