7.3 idle rough and wont go!

I have an 01 7.3 and when i drove it after a short warm up it accelerated onto the street and then loss all power and idles rough now. I cant drive it cause there is no power. The truck idles like it was a V6 missing 4 plugs. The boots are good on all parts of the turbo and i didnt notice any water in the fuel. I thought maybe the HPOP? Is there any way to check it. When it started chugging it threw a service engine soon light but when i tried to pull the code there were none.

Help please,
Mark

Its possible that the IDM is bad, but it should have set a code.I replaced one in a friend of mines but his had a code but I cant remember the code. Might check your oil level, if its low it wont let it run right.

Check your under valve cover harness' or possibly the ICP sensor.

I had the very same problem with my 1999 F-250. The IDM was bad and the fuel pump was bad. All at the same time. Hope this helps.
