Your cars didn't come with lift pumps.
The fuel pick-up/sending unit could be plugged, though.

I'm curious how the belt was one tooth off.The crank was off one tooth, as I had noticed before, but since I had everything off i put everything in perfect time.
Cam and lifters look good. It feels like it has good compression when I spin it over with the pull bar on the cam sprocket. I've done the timing belt procedure several times in the past and it feels just like it does then with good compression.Pull your valve cover off and check the cam and lifters real good. You may have a couple of lifters blown out. Lots of black smoke is over fueling. The car may be trying to compensate for a loss of cylinder(s) and boost not keeping up. My guess is something more serious causes a condition like this. Maybe the valve train has issues or blown pistons/rings. If the timing slips then the lifters can blow when the pistons hit the valves. I have had a similar issue once.
Compression should be checked. The poor man's way for a quick check is to remove all the glow plugs but one. Crank the engine over with the key and listen for the slow down on each cycle. Do this for each cylinder. If something is blown out then it will just free wheel on each revolution. This doesn't sound like an electrical issue to me if you are getting fuel pushed through to the injectors. And, injectors don't all quit at once. Low compression or wrong cam position will cause a no start.
Thanks, I use this terminology for anything helping fuel from the tank to the injection pump. Mainly because I've had to replace the one on my 7.3 several times. I haven't put the test light on the sending unit but it might have given out. I pulled the seat and took the plate off but didn't have time to go any further.Your cars didn't come with lift pumps.

Just checking to make sure you understand your car does not have anything that helps fuel get from the tank to the injection pump, so nothing to use your test light on... at least in the context of your no-start.Thanks, I use this terminology for anything helping fuel from the tank to the injection pump.

When asking this just remember there are two items that need correct timing.Just curious what symptoms would be like if the timing was off 1 tooth, or slightly off with the cam sprocket tapered shaft?
