Hey, hi from Canada.

I didn't even know they made diesel models.
Could be a problem with your fuel pump? Check the fuses if you can.
The gas pedel it self could be the problem.

I'm not familar with diesel unfounently, and still have a lot to learn about cars in general.

Default no power

check the fuel filter at the rear of the engine on the top its a bout 4" long x 2"x2",also the fuel pickup pipe in the fuel tank may be clogged, the fuel pump is at the front l h s check the flow from it on cranking the engine over
