Make sure the linkage functions so the IP is at the idle stop position.
Disconnect the vacuum line to the back of the IP. leave it off.
Crack an injector to see if fuel comes out when cranking.
Check if glow system is working and check each plug to see if they all work.
Check valve adjustment.
Remove air filter. Leave it off.
Check for fungus in tank by seeing if hand pump creates a vacuum.
Additionally IP failure rate is very low and you don't need to worry about vacuum lines right now. You can disconnect them all. They have nothing to do with the engine. They are there to make the transmission and EGR work. Diesels don't depend on vacuum. You can correct them later when the engine is running.
Good luck,
Peter

I did check over this list, but , i didnt understand all of this.
Fuel lines hooked up correctly (check)
Linkage (check)
All the vacuum lines are disconected (check)
I did crack all the hard lines next to the injectors, and got no fuel at any port ( no check )
I ordered a new glow plug relay yesterday, should be coming soon (no check )
^^^ But having no GP's wouldnt effect it not starting on starting fluid would it?
I know valves, and engine is right, because the guy i bought it from pulled it from a car that had been rear ended, he said it started first time everytime. (check ??) is there any simple way of checking valve timing?? please explain..
i took the air filter off soon after i was first trying to start it. (check)
How do i check the hand pump for vacuum, i know it gets harder to push on (i did upgrade) is that it?? (Check???)
Thanks auto.
