First of all open the air cleaner box and see for yourself if the air filter is clogged. Turbodiesel runs on hi air demand so what happens when your filter gets clogged, the filmsy air pipe gets deformed and no air could pass therby causing LOP- loss of power. Check also your MAF sensor w/c is near the airbox for dirt that calcified into the senser element.
Second, check the fuel filters. The primary filter is the water separator, although it has a WiF(water in filter) sensor, water could form into a wax that could plug the filter depriving the fuel pump. Secondary filter is where you bleed fuel line from air- another potential source of LOP.
If you have a chip, the overpressure switch of the fuel rail could be detecting an overpressure condition forcing the fuel pump solenoid to cut fuel. Suction control valve is another culprit but this seldom fails with the YD engine.
YD engine does not have inline electric fuel pump like most gaso engine do and most turbodiesel having 5L and up displacement. The fuel pump is driven by the crank.
