Does the car eventually start though? If so,
Check for air in the fuel lines commonly caused by:
1. Loose/damaged fuel piping
2. Leaking fuel filter drain plug
3. Leaking thermostatic valve on fuel filter
4 Leaking injector seals
5. Leaking tandem pump

A damaged intank fuel pump will also cause hard starts

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on :driving:

Try scan for errors.

Also try the spare key. Maybe lost it's coding?
