Simply put these engines use an injection system called HEUI or Hydraulically-actuated, Electronically-controlled Unit Injectors.

These injectors require a high pressure oil pump to supply the injectors oil pressure to actuate the internal injector piston to push fuel into the system.

No oil pressure, no fuel.

Why is it hard to start your 98 dodge diesel?

Hard starting on a diesel is from a lack of fuel or a lack of heat/compression. Air in the fuel lines, plugged fuel filters, and broken electric fuel pumps are the more common hard start issues.
