It's pretty much got to be either an injector or the pump right? Can the pumps wear/fail in a way that affects only one cylinder?
Unless the cam had a lobe come off or something, but I've never heard of that happening. What else could cause a miss on a diesel? Might just need a diesel-purge treatment and then an italian tune up drive home.
