P1249 FORD - What is the most common repair procedure for eliminating this code?

Question

I have a \\'99 F-350, 7.3. The engine has plenty of power initially when I take off, but within two or three minutes, or under two miles, the power drops of drastically then the engine shuts down, as if it was starved for fuel. After allowing it to sit and cool for a short period, it finally starts, but only after cranking it over and over. The whole process starts over again, with the same end result each time.
