In drive there is a load in engine, there for asking for fuel, so injectors ate told to send more fuel and FPR opens more to maintain RP. Your one injector is ok at idle but once it's told to give more fuel and it can't then the fuel is bypassed thus giving you your current rates.

Hope that helps

put some diesel kleen in it, a fresh tank of fuel and run it around for a week and see what happens. if the same tank of fuel has set for that long, im sure its not helping you
