Ford F250 2003 -Motor Issues, Help Please

I have a f250 7.3L Diesel truck and when I start the truck it idles fine and then the check engine light goes on and it runs rough, the rpms drop as if its not getting enough fuel and it has no power. It started out an intermittant issue. If I turned the truck off and on again, it would then work normally. But now....it just doesn't run right. Any ideas what may be causing this? Thanks for your help!

Maybe an O2 Sensor.
Could be a plug or COP.

Get the codes pulled and post them here.

When was the last time that you replaced the fuel filter?

It could be a Cam Position Sensor. I recommend going to the 7.3 section of this site and do a search. It's also an easy and cheap repair if you want to do it yourself.
