Check and clean the boost pressure sense tube from the manifold to the pump. Also check to make sure the over boost relay/valve is not stuck or blocked. Check the pressure switch that runs the relay.

My 87 300SDL had enough carbon after 220K miles that there was no boost signal getting to the IP.. The valve was gummed up. I cleaned it out with a shot of Kroil, and after it was working, I later replaced it with a new one to prevent troubles later on.
