[Vwdiesel] Car won't Start

[Stephen Kraus]

Well I bled the lines, it won't start.
I checked to see if the engine had compression, I dribbled diesel into the
air intake which it burned quite well, the engine started but then stopped.
That seems to isolate the problem to the injection pump, which is timed
right I am positive because it was running 2 days ago.

This is so sad :( My poor jetta
