fiat ducato 2.8JTD disel will only fire on the second attempt?

I have a CI Mizar 2004 with a fiat 2.8JTD ducato engine. on the first attempt the engine turns over but won't fire most of the time and always starts on the second attempt every time?
I have been to two garages to carry out dianostic checks on the engine and found two faults.The TDC sensor and a camshaft sensor these have now been replaced with new parts. I still have the same problems. Any suggestions
