IS the "loud like diesel sound loud" meaning that the engine is "rattling" or "clankier"? Have you checked fuel pressure? Also I would like to view live data of the IPR while it is acting up.

How old is the oil? Is it full?

Fuel level when this is occurring or is it doing it at various levels?

After you check the above suggestions, is there any signs of oil in the fuel filter bowl? Does the problem seem to get worse after the engine warms up?
