So you replaced vp44 injection pump and lift pump? oem style lift pump or what? Have you cracked injector lines to see if you have fuel getting to injectors? do you know fuel pressure?

crack injector lines and if black smoke comes out of exhaust and fuel comes out of the injectors when trying to start that means your getting fuel into the motor so try that. you might have air in your fuel lines too
