I am wondering if it could be timing? It might fire sporadically when I try to start. Thanks for any ideas.

Do you have a block heater? What is the temperature? Test continuity on all five glow plugs. Pull the cigar line off the return and put in a glass jar, look for bubbles. These cars are stupid simple, if you have compression and you have fuel they will start.
