HELP PLEASE !1 01 psd problem

i have a 01 f250 psd, and here is my problem, i started my truck last week, and when i started it, it started surging, idle going up and down, till i gave it some throttle and it stopped, didnt think anything of it, well today while driving when i came to a stop it started to do the same thing!! and it didnt want to stop doing it, making it very hard to drive, i pulled over looked the truck over, everything looked ok, tried to start it, and it wouldnt start, if i gave it throttle it would start, but idled all messed up again. can anyone shed some light on this for me.
is it the fuel filter? bad fuel?

thnx !!!

There is an Idle Air Control Valve on the back of the intake / throttle body.

Check with your local dealer. It is a part that fails regularly, Your best bet would be to start there.
