could be one of two problems, when starting a diesel or any injected motor you never touch the gas pedal or you might flood the engine, the glow plugs may be weak and added fuel just renders them useless, otherwise you might have a bad fuel filter or pump.

How do you prime a 1987 Ford F-250 diesel engine that has run out of diesel It just cranks cranks cranks.....?
I would add fuel to the tank, and then use the fuel pump relay to prime the system. Good luck. add fuel to your fuel filter and put it back on and should start. On older diesel engines dont worry about the fuel pump relay. Add clean fresh fuel to the filter and hold the pedal to the floor while cranking and it should start.(release pedal when it starts)

You have a year vectra and its taking its time to startup before 1 turn of the key no probs now its struggling any ideas?
You need to specify whether petrol or diesel. Worn spark plugs(petrol) or faulty heater plugs(diesel) can affect starting,as can the battery if the engine is not cranking fast enough or insufficient amps to provide a good spark when cranking.

Cold cranking amps needed for 6.5 l gmc diesel?
I've got nearly the same engine, 6.2L Chevy diesel. Cranks fine on two 875 amp batteries, but they're only rated 700 cold cranking and are just plain insufficient--can't start it at all, unless I use the block heater. I say it needs somewhere between 700 and 875 cold cranking amps per battery. OEM is two 750CCA batteries, for a total of 1500 cold cranking amps. I can testify 1750 amps fires it right up, 1400 will not spin it fast enough to start, even with a block heater. Answer General rule of thumb, on diesels get the largest CCA batteries that will fit in the space.

How do you prime a diesel after runnin out of fuel?
newer diesels cycle key on and of leaving on for about 20-30sec. a few times then just keep cranking but no more that about 30sec. crank time to keep from burning up starter. older diesel you may have a hand pump or have to crack an injector line while cranking to bleed air out.
