If the volts check out, food for thought, check the injector pump lining marks on the center top front of the pump, where it mounts to the housing. The lines should be aligned. Sometimes mechanics do not tighten these mounting bolts to the right torque and these bolts will get loose. I have had a few in my life time. Just to ensure and eliminate this troubleshooting procedure.

Check the fuel water separator as well, located in front of the washer reservoir. Get a cup and turn the engine for approximately 15sec to see if you get bubbles out of this, if so you have water in the fuel.

If you replace the controller insure you wait about ten minutes for it to adjust to the temp. I would change out controller and glow plugs at the same time. Bad controllers stems from not waiting for the wait to go out before starting. This problem could have been the previous owner’s bad habit.
