A diesel engine may not fire with starter fluid due to several reasons, including insufficient compression, which is essential for igniting the fuel-air mixture, or a lack of adequate fuel delivery due to a clogged fuel filter or malfunctioning fuel pump. Additionally, if the engine is severely cold or has air trapped in the fuel lines, it may not start. Starter fluid is typically more effective in gasoline engines, and using it in a diesel engine can also pose risks of engine damage if not used correctly.

Do you need electricity to run a diesel engine?
No. Iginition in a Diesel engine comes from compression and not spark. Once the Diesel engine is running you do not need electricitry to keep it running. However, modern diesel engines have computers controlling many of the functions of the engine and that would cause it to fail if there was no electricity. Old diesel engines did not have computers and would keep running even if your battry went flat because your alternator died. Just dont turn it off because the starter needs electricity :P

Does the engine continue to run on it's own after you gave it a squirt of starting fluid? If so, try replacing the ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor. If the engine runs only on starting fluid but not on it's own I would suspect the fuel pump is bad.
