Fuel Filter is Black?

OK here's an update. replaced the filter, got new fuel and added some biobor. Took it out for a test drive yesterday and experienced the engine cutting out again. It stops briefly and the stop engine light comes on and then it will go again. Seems to happen around 17-1800 rpms or upon quick acceleration.

Got these 4 codes though. The good thing (I think) is that the manual says Failure Mode (FM) 0 is; Data Valid But Above Normal Operational Range. FM 12 is; Bad Intelligent Device or Component.

The codes appear to point to maybe a sensor but the symptoms point to fuel delivery or air intake???

Was able to run at about 55 mph without too many "hiccups" so I'm going to try and get it to the shop so they can have a look. I just was wondering if there was any one with a similar experience out there. Any reason not to drive it to the dealer?

Thanks.

IMHO
If you have oil pressure and temp in the green I wouldn't hesitate to drive it to a dealer
You have already driven it to discover it's not a blocked filter.
Do you have a primary and a secondary filter - did you change both.
It certainly sounds like a fuel issue - I wouldn't like to guess.
The engine guys will be able to tell what the problem is when they hook it up to their computer.
I hope it's not expensive.
