Assuming the starter and battery are good, if you can get fuel and air into the cylinders it should fire. Conditions to look for:
- Is there fuel?
- Did the fuel system get the air purged the last time you ran it out of fuel?
- Is the fuel clean and dry?
- Is your fuel filter clogged?
- Does the fuel pump work?
- Is it so cold that your fuel has gelled?
- If it is cold, are your glow plugs working?
I hope you are seeing a theme here...it will either be something really simple and fuel-related or something very expensive like a broken engine component resulting in the valves going out of time or loss of compression.
