sounds more like ignition lock fault if when you stop starter, it stops.
does the ignition light go out when it does this?

IME of crank sensor issues, it was starting the engine where I had the problem, once the engine was running there was no problem...

also if you have one of them hand pump primers on they can leak and you not get the right amount of pressure in the line to start.

As he says check codes first and post results.
Mind the codes starts of with a test code 12 one flash followed by 2 flashes of the eml light.it repeats this three times and is the same for any other code after the test code :y
How much fuel is in the tank.

When were the glow plugs last changed. Try letting the glow plugs heat up a few times to see if that helps.

What colour is the smoke.
Also check the injector leak off pipes for drawing air and also make sure the fuel filter is seated properly
