(3.0 ltr deisel engine). I stalled the car, and now it won't run. The engine starts after a few tries and will idle ok , but when I press the accellerator the engine dies. Garage mechanic has tried all sorts of things (checked filter, timing, fuel tank for leaks etc) but cannot find the problem)

Nearest Isuzu Dealer is 100 miles away and I don't have money to pay for a tow, so we cannot get it on diagnostic machine.
