Have you tried towing it to see if it starts? Don't have the specifics it's my understanding that version automatic could be towed started, if it's a manual it's a non-issue. Also when your cracking it, are you getting anything at the exhaust? If your not seeing any unburned fuel it could still be air in the lines. Had similar problem with my 76 300D and my issue was timing
Good Luck, Sal 76 300D 85 300D |

Update!!!
I put a fresh battery in the car, an cranked until it started. Finally got it to run. I thought my problems would stop there but they didn't. Besides te fuel and temp gauge not working the car starts up a little rough. Also it will drive all day but when I let off the accelerator it will just shut off. It's also shooting out a lot of white smoke, could this be from the valves being out of adjustment? Thanks for all the help so far, it's been a long 3 months without it bit at least it runs, just need to tweak it to make it my daily again |

Is there oil in the plastic tube venting the vacuum pump into the intake manifold or air cleaner? If so, you have a failed vacuum pump diaphragm which would account for the white smoke.
Are your glow plugs working?

My power steering belt is really loose and the whole pump is loose
Could this be causing my car to shut off or no? |

Doubt it, if anything it'd make your steering not as effective as it could be, if the belt was tight maybe. Post a video of it crapping out. might help
