do you have a boost guage to verify a loss of boost?

the reason i ask is I have had tons of diesels fall flat on there face over a simple clogged fuel filter.

get it checked for codes, could be restriction in the air charge cooler, pin holes in the the charge side hose, faulty baro sensor , even a bad intake air temp sensor(shorted internally)

Need codes to begin with.......

Take the air filter off and run it like that. See if it still happens
