well it acts like it aint getting much fuel! but the injector pump has been checked and it functions properly! and the injector lines are brand new and installed properly... and injectors have been checked by the MACK shop down the road! so i dont understand why it wont start very easy! glow plugs are new and they are getting current to them! i will crank and crank on this thing once in a while it will speed up for a second then slow down. then i tried to start with the battery charger hooked up to it on engine start and i cranked on it for a while kinda pumping the throttle and then it started and would run as long as i kept throttle to it! when i let out of the pedal it would die!:banghead:

Air leak into the fuel system and/or bad lift pump.....

Been there done that. It's a real pain in the ass when it's doing it in the middle of winter like mine did.

that, or you havnt worked the inital air out of the system yet. when i changed my ip and injectors and stuff it took FOREVER to get the air out, and then it wouldnt idle at all untill i held the throttle open for a few mins for it to work the air out. then i took it for a hard drive(foot to the floor a few times) to work the rest of the air out of the ip. after i did that it run like a champ. even a few weeks later it still had a little air, but now its all gone.
