land cruiser HZJ75, 1HZ vehicle sitting idle for 1 year (1 Viewer)

Hi My 1hz engine has been sitting idle for a year. I tried starting it a few times but it could not start. It only cranked kind of slowly.
i am assuming my fuel filter is blocked or there is a fuel blockage somewhere.
What do you guys suggest. Do I need to change the fuel filter, diesel in the tank and also the engine oil?
Thanks

Cranked slowly? Maybe you need a battery?

slow crank = battery most likely

Diesel fuel can turn “waxy” after a while and it’s not unheard of to need to flush the injector pump, fuel lines and in some cases the fuel tank itself.

Battery charged, check starter cables, check fuel solenoid be open (open inyector lines)... maybe preheat 2-3 times.
We add 3/4 ATF fluid and fresh fuel on fuel filter to lubricated the pump.
