What engine fitted ? If i had to guess sounds like an air leak in your fittings some where.

Yup
You have an leaking fitting
Been there!
Go over everything in the fuel supply line that is new - ensure 100% air tight
You can have a leaky fitting that will suck air but not leak appreciable diesel

You did the proper prime sequence right?
2.2's have an in-tank lift pump, so you need to cycle the key to ON then OFF about a half dozen times to bleed the system.
