A diesel engine is a heat engine and it needs to be warmed up before you get full power out of it. Let is warm up. Also please don't use all Capitol letters; it is shouting on the internet and is not nice.

Check your oil level. Mine did the same thing. My oil filter became loose & blew oil. It was dangerously low.

Or, bad slug o' fuel. If it ran fine and then suddenly changed after you refueled? then maybe you got a slug 'o crud??
