if idm gets wet it may do this. take out idm, shake around, listen for water sloshing around... read that in the 7.3 tech forums.

so i took the idm out and when I sloshed it around it sounded like it was full of water

i took the siliconed cap off it and to my surprise it was fully covered in water the whole assy was full

i drained all the water out of it and dried it off and waited for an hour and plugged it back in and now it fried it

i ran the codes on it and it comes back idm fault and icp fault
i ran injector buzz test and it shows injectors check out ok
can only half the idm be bad?
does any one on here have an idm for sale
