Could be lots of things ...

What's your fuel pressure? Is the CEL on? IDM's can get water in them. You can take it out, shake and listen or water sloshing around.

I would check the fuel pressure for starters. You can use a cheap "stick type" tire gauge. The port is on the drivers side of the fuel filter canister. It needs to be 20PSI cranking and 45-50 PSI running. At least it's a easy and almost free test.

The oil pressure gauge would concern me. It only takes 6psi of oil pressure to move the gauge up to a steady position. Its called a idoit gauge.

Which oil pressure guage are you referring to? If engine oil in dash,then you need to check that first. If your engine oil pressure is low your HPOP well not have steady pressure to the injectors, as the resevoir may not be full. It may run ok at driving as the oil pump(engine) may keep up with rpm. Second if the oil pressure your referring to is HPOP then your IPR is probably bad. Another thing could be IPR o-rings. To check HPOP pressure you'll need either a scanner or 4000psi gauge to tap into ports on the head. Good Luck

A friend of mines dad had a problem like that. After he had done quite a bit of testing and trying to figure it out, I asked him if he had checked the oil...A few quarts later it ran like a champ.

Black stuff came out of the fuel bowl (The test port)? Thats not good, mine just nothing comes out other than fuel, you may have a clogged like or something.
