Diesel van won't start?

Hi can anyone help. I have a renult kangoo van
05 plate. Have had 6 different people look at
It. Had the diagonisic machine plugged in
3time and still nothing, no one knows what's
Wrong with it. We have changed glow plugs,
Replaced a new diesel pump. And changed
The replay on the fuel pump and still nothing.
The only way we can get the van to start is if we spray
Deodrant can into the air flow pipe, it then starts and run perfect.
We turn it off and on again and it starts.But once the engine
Is cold, the deodrant can comes back out to start it.
Is there anyone that can tell me why this is or what the problem
Could be. Thanks in advance for ur help

It is very difficult to determine your problem and these faults can be a nightmare to sort out and on modern motors you could be looking at an electrical or fuel related problem. I know on some models cam sensors are only used on cranking and have heard of injectors causing problems like yours. Have you had a compression test done? Before jumping in a renewing everything in sight you have to think carefully about the cost and parts nowadays can cost a fortune. You don`t say if anyone has had the correct computer on the motor and looked at live data and what each sensor is doing in turn and it may be worth looking at a Renault forum where someone may have had the same problem as yours but good luck anyway.
