Apparently it will start on a bump but when cranking on the starter cant seem to get any power to the injectors! If anybody can help me out with this i would really appreciate it! Thanks very much.

Needless to say, you've made sure all the glow plugs in every cylinder are working and not burned out. There are inductively coupled ammeters that you hold next to or clamp around the main battery wire feed to the glow plugs to see if the total Amperage being drawn at a cold startup is the 12 Amps times the number of cylinders. So for a 4 cylinder engine, you should read about 50 Amps flowing to the glow plugs. If you read only 40 Amps, one glow plug is burned out.
