Unplug the FCA harness from the CP3 and see if it helps you. Using ether is strongly discouraged in newer diesels.

You may have created an ether baby.

Check banjo fitting seals on back of head. Check fuel tube orings. Could be injector/s going out. Id check those two things first though.

Unplug it then try to start if for the first start of the day and see if it helps. If it doesn't then plug it back in. If it does help you FCA may be going out.
