Engine light

I was traveling down the freeway and was losing power so I switched over to my diesel tank and regained power. It was my sign that my wvo filter was clogged but I also noticed the idiot light that looks like the engine also came on at the same time. I have had clogged filters before and never had that light come on. I looked in the manual and it states that the little engine light is an emmisions problem indicator. I switched the filter tonight but have not tried to clear the code with my programmer. Anybody eles running a PS 7.3liter had this issue. Does it mean anything major?

Re: Engine light

In my truck when my WVO filter gets clogged the dash idiot light indicating <span style="color: #FF0000">FUEL FILTER</span> restriction comes on. When I switch to diesel it goes off. No code set/ Nothing to clear. It's just the fuel restriction sensor doing its job.
