Grand Voager 2002 2.5 CRD - Noise then progressive power loss/misfiring - mobile66access

I started my vehicle and there was a rattling sound. The car drove well. After around 2 miles the rattling got worse and then I started to lose power and black smoke and soot started coming from the exhaust. The water level is fine and remains under pressure. There is no bottom end noise.

The engine still starts but sounds as if it is misfiring badly and there is no power. With the engine running I have disconnected each of the four injectors one at a time. Each time the engine stops but restarts once the injector is reconnected.

The fuel pump is working.

We have put it on a Snap On code reader and nothing shows. We have put it on a different code reader and still nothing shows.

Can it be an injector? An air mass sensor? A crank position sensor? A cylinder head gasket? Air getting into the Fuel system?

Any advice/suggestion is much appreciated, Thank you.
