Help please no start

Hey guys I'm new to forum and diesel world and having a no start now...... 97 f350 cclb was starting running fine no issues for 4 days of driving about 250 miles, I started the truck up the other morning fired right up and about 5 mins go by it shuts off, it restarts fine and I figured maybe a low rpm timer similar to that in semi trucks , so I turned the ts6 to high idle, no problems until I go to leave a Christmas dinner, it started fine then I started backing out of the drive way and it died, I cycled the key no wts light so I pop the hood and have my wife cycle key and check for wts it comes on and then starts fine,the next day it shuts off going down the rd, cycle the key and no wts I pop the hood and barely get it raised and my wife starts it( if wts does not come on the truck will not start) the next time it shut off was as we were pulling into our apt, it took about 5 min of setting and the wts finally came back on and it fired right up, parked the truck got the kids out went inside and the next day went to start it and wts not coming on at all but cranks at about 150-200 rpm

The first thing that comes to mind is the cps(camshaft position sensor) and if the wts is not turning on check fuse 22 to see if it blown (fuel bowl heater tend to cause that fuse to blow) go over to the the diesel section on the model year like your truck you will get more responses thanhere
