Dead... no signs of life.
 

Well, I went out to start the car this morning and it just turns over and over and over with no sign of life. I tried pumping the gas a little as that usually wakes her up after a cold night but that doesn't seem to make any difference. It almost sounds like it has no compression... and I seriously hope that isn't the case. I'm in an apartment complex with no tools or anything so I'm a little stuck... my dad is coming down tomorrow so I could have him bring a few tools if I need any.

What do you guys suggest I check/do?

Do it promise any? Starts even for few seconds?
Any strange noises? Can you tell some more facts so we can
try to help you fast to get your car running.

No strange noises, it sounds like maybe 2 or 3 cylinders are firing but not enough to get it spun up enough to stay running. If I stay on the starter for a while it doesn't really change much.

How cold there is? I would first test glowplug relay,
my quess is at its dead. And you could also check does
fuel come from nozzles, open one fuelpipe from nozzle,
and check does fuel come out of there when you spin start.
Then it might be fuelfilter/ stucked fuelline.
Those are few shots to start with.

You problem is bad glowplugs and winter. Pumping the gas doesen`t work on diesel. Try to keep the throttle at full when you try to start.

full throttle doesn't seem to make a difference. Its smoking like crazy when trying to start though. brownish/grey smoke. I'd say its definitely the glow plugs since it was running fine like 10 hours ago. I wish I had money to replace them :(

btw, I can hear the relay click on and off, so I know it isn't that.

Relay might work, but wireline which that relay connect might be broken,
so even relay turns on and off, it maybe dont connect electricity to plugs.
You can easily test are plugs working with testing lamp. Take the metal-rail which connects glowplugs out, and just put another wire to + on battery,
and another one to glowplug. If lamp doesnt light, its broken.

PS: dont connect electric on with key.

The smoke that is coming out is very sweet smelling... that indicates overfueling?

Also the belt which uses fuel pump might have "jumped"
and therefore pump timing is on ass, even
its 180* degrees wrong, you can get it started, but it dont
take any revs, which might be the situation on you?
Theres no way it overfuels, or some nozzles have broken,
but if i can quess, the problem is timing which have changed,
IF we think problem is on fuel side.

I don't think the pump timing could have jumped since it was running fine last night when I turned it off. Its gotta be the glowplugs. The sweet smell is probably from not being able to burn any of the fuel.
