Sticky Throttle

Ive got a question for you guys.
Ive got an F-250 and after its warmed up a bit my revs seem to hang for a while and then drop after a bit. When im in gear as well it will be reving on its own enough to move my truck slowly as well.

Ive got a manual 5.8L so if anyone has had that problem and has an easy fix that would be awesome. Ive checked the throttle body and stuff and its not dirty and im not sure if its a sensor or not. So thanks in advance.

The fuel system is sucking air, when the fuel leans up, it will increase the RPMs.
I know to switch tanks the first time it accelerates on its own.

So all I would have to do is switch tanks and then it should go away?
Will it begin to rev on its own once I go back to the other tank or will the air have been taken out of the system by then?
