Maybe an IP issue, maybe you just need to crank it longer. When you get fuel to the #4 injector, tighten up the line so it doesn't leak and keep cranking. A system that has lost its prime can take a lot of cranking to get it going. IP failures are rare, but if you suspect that the car has used vegetable oil or "bio diesel" or something other than plain old ULSD #2 diesel or real honest-to-God ASTM spec bio diesel, then the IP is suspect.
Disable the glow plug relay while you crank (remove the fuse) to conserve battery power and get faster cranking.
How much fuel in the fuel tank? How does the clear pre-filter look? Think about rigging a temporary fuel tank at the engine bay filled with fresh clean fuel to eliminate any potential problems with the fuel lines or fuel tank (strainer).
