starting issues

My 07, 6.0L, bought used. ran fine for 2 mos. For the last month I have had starting problems that are intermittent. It can be hot or cold . I have to toggle the ignition when it won't start many times. Now today when I tried to leave a red light it ran to 1000 rpm and barely got through the intersection. In neutral I stomped it and got power back. Got home and at idle it now will not idle at a controlled rpm. Have changed both fuel filters, and added diesel clean. Still have a problem. HELP!

Your truck probably is still under the 5 year/100k engine warranty and possibly under the 3 year/36K everything warranty.

Let a dealer check it out before you spend any more time, effort or worry.
