2003 icp sensor help

[maddenjr]

Hey guys im a mechanic and i have an early 6.0 here that has a bad icp sensor but im not seeing it.Does anyone know the easiest way to change it???

The ICP sensor is behind & under the turbo. You need a 1 1/16 socket to remove. I cut my socket down to just fit the sensor. I used a socket, swivel, extension, and then wrench to remove it. It is a TIGHT fit. I removed the driver battery, air filter, FICM, unbolted the degas bottle. Then remove the connector from the IPR valve, then remove the connector from the ICP and remove the sensor. See some attached pictures of items removed and location of ICP sensor. It is the one with the heat shielding.

Well that didn't work as I expected. Attached is a overview of the engine.

I paid someone to do mine but I have been told you can reach it (with really long arms and alot of patience) from under and behind the engine. Good luck on this one.

I just had all of that stuff off of mine and I could not get an ICP sensor until this Thursday, so I put it all back together...

I know its a pain. But when i replaced my icp and ipr sensors i pulled my turbo for a little extra room. It seemed to help me a little bit.

NO NO gooseman55 all you need is a 1 1/16 shallow impact socket 1/2 drive to 3/8 adapter with a swivel and 6" extension and it comes out man..Its a pain to start the new one but im a big guy and i got my fingers in there!

That is reassuring, because I am sure I will be changing mine, thanks for the info
