Compression, fuel atomisation, pump settings.
You've done the atomisation, next (and cheap) thing is do a compression test.

Well they will do that if the compression is down or the intake is blocked. Some may have a filter on the exhaust too. carbon filter they are, meant to be changed every so often. Cheapest thing though is to do a compression test first I reckon.

if its got egr you rip the intake off and clean its ports and remove the crap. but be carfull if it is electronic crap it likely will throw then a check-engine light. loads things it could be untill we know what yearengine-number and what injector pump.
