Pumping the accelerator pedal while cranking the engine, while it might relieve the driver of frustration, won't help in the starting of this and most other diesels. The injection system is so made that while you are cranking, so much fuel is injected, and no more. Now in saying that, we have to make sure there is fuel in the sytem available to the injection pump. If fuel is not there it will not start.
