Things get heat soaked and heat created resistance. Then factor in a loose connection. So while the engine turned over fine cold. When warm, you would not get the full voltage needed to A. spin the engine over fast enough, B. the ECM needs 11volts for it to function correctly, C the glow plugs need at least 11Volts to function correctly, D. the IDM need 11volts to function correctly.

But it is too bad you didn't put a HPOP on for no good reason and still not fix the problem
