I've had a cow of a time recently, the thing took forever to start, ran like a chaff cutter, kept cutting out, blowing smoke etc. Checked the glow plugs, they are all well within resistance tolerance, but now it won't start at all. I inject starting fluid into the air intake, it will start and run but only for a few seconds, then once the autostart is used it stops. I pump the pedal while its running but there's no change to the engine, like no fuel is getting in all. I pulled the fuel filter off in hope of seeing water, minimal bubbles on the bottom of the test jar, so fuel is good, but I don't think its pumping through. How can i test if fuel is actually moving through the system? should something visible move under the bonnet when the accelerator is pushed?
