Does it crank but not start or does it not even crank?

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

It cranks and starts no problem. Drives as well although it shudders at little. Idling is good but randomly cuts out.

Get it checked out at a mechanic. That's a really weird issue.
Epc light is meant to be on until engine starts.
