You have to remove the air from the fuel injection system:

-- loosen the two front-most injectors, driver-side and passenger-side
-- then crank the engine repeatedly (no more than 12-15 seconds each time, waiting at least 5 minutes between crankings or you will burn up your starter) until diesel comes out of the injectors
-- tighten the injectors to spec

Understandably, you need a set of good batteries to do this

Good luck!
