My f350 turbo diesel starts fine but runs rough after 20 or 30 sconds. The check engine light comes on and there is a real lack of power. In another minute or so everything is fine. I have changed the fuel filter but there was no change.
Did you check for water in fuel? It might not be your problem but it can cause your symtoms and diesel is know to have water in fuel issues at times.

What year/engine? If it's the 6.0L, your symptoms are classic for new turbo time. Been there. Done that.

There was no water in the fuel. Forgot to mention that. It's a 1994,
7.3 litre. >
Might be a good time to take it somewhere with diagnostic equipment. It could be a cam position sensor, but why throw parts at it when you can get somebody with the right equipment to tell you exactly what is wrong.
