00F250 WIF light

My 00f250 just recently started acting up. The WIF light will come on and the truck returns to idle. You have to let go of the accelerator before it resets itself. When the WIF light comes on so does the Service Engine and Wait to start light. I have drained the fuel filter housing multiple times and it seams to still be doing it. I have recently added some 244k and some dry diesel that I got from BG. I didnt know if i had a problem with my WIF sensor or something in the ignition shorting out. Any advise on what to check before i start throwing parts at it would be great. Thanks.

Is there any way you can get the codes read on your truck?

I have not checked to see if there is any codes stored in the system yet. The check engine light does not stay on so I dont know if anything is stored or not. All the light go on and off at the same time. I was going to get a new fuel filter and replace that. It has only been about 8k miles since the last time I replaced it. I will try and drain the fuel into a clear container to see if there is any water in it. I have drained the filter houseing but have not checked to see if water realy does come out.
