check engine light

the last couple days my 03 powerstroke 7.3L will be running fine than the check engine light will come on. i can hear the engine running but i can't accelerate. then in about ten seconds or so it will be just fine. it's happened a couple of times here and there, but today it happened three times back to back. any help would be awesome, thanks.

Sounds like the TPS throttle position sensor. It is replaced as a pedal assembly. Have the codes scaned to make sure.

Have you had to replace your CPS yet? That may be another possibility if you're running with the original OEM sensor.
