Default Ford Transit Connect TDCI- Will Not Start!

Basically, I brought a transit connect 2004 90ps.

The van had a broken con rod when I picked it up (I brought it as a non runner)

I have fitted a replacement engine and it refueses to start. It will start on easy start but cut out as soon as it's all used up.

When we fitted the engine we used everything from the old engine so as not to get a coding issue.

We've used a hand pump to suck diesel from the tank and prime the system.

If you crack an injector nut off totally when cranking you get a load of air out and then fuel dribbles out at no great speed.

I've plugged my dynostics into it at it comes up with :- P2291- low injector pressure when cranking.

Is there any way of totally bleeding the system or bleeding the pump?

I seems to me like the high pressure pump has shit itself but it must of worked for the old engine to break a con rod?

You can tell the van was moving at speed when the rod went as there's oil all over the rear bumper and all over the underside of the van.

Any ideas.

Cheers.
