I am not familiar with the engine.
Indirect injection diesels need a cold start device in all but the most mild of weather conditions - mostly this is accomplished with the use of in-cylinder heater plugs but these might or might not be supplemented with an excess fuel device or an intake manifold warmer.
Direct injection diesels lose much less heat during compression and so an engine in good condition will usually start without aids in temperatures above freezing though most engines will incorporate an excess fuel device, manifold heater or in-cylinder heater plugs to cope with low temperatures.
The first thing a diesel needs for good starting is a good cranking speed and excellent compressions followed by good injector spray patterns and that is usually enough to ensure reliable starting of a direct injection type.
An indirect injection type is even more needful of good compressions and a good cranking speed and also requires good injector spray patterns but will also need any cold starting aid to be working properly.
I suggest you begin by learning about your engine.

Could it be a plug up injector , have sewiing needle , stick it in the sprayer part of the injector on the carberator part

Bad glow plugs and/or glow plug controller. Common issue with these vehciles. Some also have harness failures. Replace all glow plugs as a set not individually.

sounds like a fuel pump problem,with fuel pumps u can have pressure but not enough volume,try goin up a steeper hill in 2nd gear and get about 3000 rpms on the engine and see if it really drops out bad and is really gutless,if that happens without a check engine light coming on it might be yur pump and u should also replace the fuel filter at the same time,hope this helps
