never use starting fluid in a diesel, unless you want a bent rod

they are on a switch, which the previous owner said didnt work, let alone it has all bad gps, which is fine with me, but another thing that gets me is i had it running and probaly drove it 200 miles before it stopped running...

did it die when you were driving it? if it started then doesnt mean it will start again. id get new glow plugs and see what happens since it sounds like you need them anyways

did it run out of gas or something? did you crack the injectors and see if they are getting fuel?

my guess is the IP went out, or mabey just the FSS, its my understanding that if the IP is pumping fuel to the injectors, that they wont get it, and this happen when the FSS goes out...

If the fuel shut off solenoid dies, the fuel will go to the return lines, but not to the injection lines or injectors.
