Do you have fuel comming out of the valve in the engine bay? looks like a normal tire valve? should have a black cap on it.

You don't need the engine running to check the pump pressure. Either use the prime on key-turn or provide power to the pump wiring.

I'd probably follow my guide on testing the low pressure pump. I may even follow the guide on glow plug diagnostics too, just in case. I would also check the engine sensor data and battery health along the way.

Obviously not dead! But if the battery wasn't at full potential (voltage) would it put a fault on Thule system resulting in not starting?
