did you find out what your problem was? My 99 is acting exactly the same. Fuel pressure is good (16), using blue chip diesels troubleshooting guide, the injector pump checks good. Could it be the ECM not telling the injector pump to accept more gas. Thanks for all your help.

Had a friend read my codes. It came up 1688 (death code). Replaced the IP, everything seems OK now.
