shorted valve cover gasket, shorted from the glow plug wire to ground or an injector wire....it takes the ecm a few sec before it runs a self test and at that point when it sees the fault it kills that whole bank of injectors

dorman makes the kit now that comes with the gaskets and the injector harness pigtails, should fix ya right up just takes a lil time to do nothing major tho

Check both of the UVC (under valve cover) harness... Drivers side and passanger side.

On the OBS there are two connectors on each side, each connector runs two injectors and two glow plugs.

Could be an IDM, but I doubt it at this point.
