garages are not diesel specialists take it to a diesel specialist repair shop for a proper diagnosis

What do you mean tijme, timing. timing will be set tby the belt being on the correct position at the crank and cam pulleys If you mean timing a new fuel pump see link below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3NYl1X6NjY BEST OF LUCK

There is a chance that your pump itself is going bad. Just like a starter that is on its way out. if you tap on it sometimes the brushes will make contact enough for it to go ahead and start, a fuel pump motor has brushes and an armature. Sometimes they will not make contact and work, then other times they can run fine for a bit.

On the Fuel Rail On the Intake Manifold

lots of mazda vehicles have a small button on the shifter, usually on the side or somewhere not very visible. Generally overdrive is actually ON and pressing the button will turn on a light that indicates Overdrive is OFF. since overdrive is kind of a passing gear - if you are going uphill or towing something and do not want the vehicle to shift to a higher, larger gear, you would turn overdrive OFF .

Got fuel? Sounds crazy but you'd be surprised how many times I have poured a gallon of gasoline into someones car to get it to start. No start condition is the most frustrating problem. More information on what happens when you turn the key would help......but basicaly you need 4 things to make a car start. Fuel. Air. Spark. Timing. Fuel, Air, Spark and Timing are needed to start/run. Asked about fuel, but is the fuel getting to the cylinder? Do you have fuel pressure at the fuel rail(s)? When you turn the key to the "On" or "Run" position, do you hear a whining sound coming from the rear (fuel tank area)? That is your fuel pump priming the system. No sound? Check fuses and relays associated with the fuel system. Air. You need air to the cylinder to make it start and run. Check your air intake and filter. Really clogged and dirty filter? Pull it out and try to start. No go? Put it back (change ASAP) and look for Spark. Spark includes battery. Are there any loose connections to/from your battery? Really corroded terminals? Clean and tighten the connections. Try to start. No go? Pull the spark plug wire off an easily accessible spark plug (grasp the "boot" as close to the plug as possible and wiggle back and forth easily while pulling - these boots and wire connectors are fairly delicate). Remove the spark plug (be careful and dont break it or cross thread it when putting back in) and pop the wire back on it and set the plug on top of your engine (away from the spark plug hole). Have someone try to start the engine. You should see the spark plug fire its tiny bright blue spark. If not, you have found your problem. The problem is likely a bad coil, bad coil wire, distributor cap, rotor or a combination of these. If you have spark, then it has come down to timing. There are lots of things that affect timing in modern cars. There are a couple of sensors that jump out - Crankshaft and Camshaft position sensors. These will generally quit working while driving and you will likely notice the problem beforehand with it running really rough and getting crappy mileage, and the check engine light will come on and give you all kinds of hints. IF you turn the key and nothing happens, it might be a broken timing belt, but again, those usually fail under working conditions. It is possible (rare) the timing belt slipped/broke when you last shut off the engine, but I would point at the other 3 things first (Fuel, Air & Spark). Hope this helps. Good luck.

check for vacuum in the fuel tank from a blocked vent or a canister venting problem

The dealer to whom the vehicle was shipped originally will have a factory invoice from Mazad and the engine number is recorded on that document. (this is true in Canada for sure and I imagine for the rest of Mazda)

Looking for torque specs on a Mazda drifter 2.5Tdi

The engine is probably not getting any gas from a bad fuel pump. See if any fuel is going through the lines by listening for the fuel pump after the key is turned on or removing the line and see if gas is flowing afer the key is on.
