Hi Mr Ken, I have managed to start the car and now the problem is that the car revs up 1500 revs with full acceleration. However, when I pump the filter with my foot on the accelerate my revs goes up to 3000. When I stop pumping the revs drops again. Help please

It sounds like the throttle actuator is dirty causing it to lose correlation between the computer and the throttle pedal sensor. Start by disconnecting the battery and then follow this guide.
Hi Mr Ken I cleaned the throttle but still same problem then again I tried using a high pressure pump and the vehicle could rev up but when I remove the high pressure pump I loose my revs could this mean I have to change my diesel pump
