Few things to try:

- To test if it is just too far retarded, get someone to try and start it while you manually hold the Cold Start lever in the forward (advanced) position.

- Are you sure your glow plugs are working? Mine randomly wouldn't start one day. After a fair bit of cranking it started half-firing, teasing me into thinking it would start. Turns out even though the glow plug light was coming on, the fuse had disintegrated on the underside of the relay and there wasn't 12V getting to the glowplug busbar.

- Check there is fuel coming through to all injectors by loosening the injector hardlines as advised above. If not, are you sure you have 12V at the fuel solenoid on the pump?
