Icp bad??

[Cj Ford]

Ok here's the deal

Truck is cranking longer then normal for start up, hot or cold dont matter..quite a bit longer then normal, so I did some digging around and checking things out

batteries are fine cranks fast has new starter fuel filter is new, oil is clean garage is 70 degrees not a cold start issue.. I was reading to check icp and ipr.. well I pulled the connector off the icp and its wet with oil, I started it with the icp unplugged it seems to start better and it dont have the stumble as soon as it starts. I used brake cleaner to clean it out blew it dry with the blow gun plugged it back in seemed to help but still not right.. I never made it to the ipr as I was hoping I found the issue

It's safe to say the icp is screwed and is likely the issue? will it start as good with it unplugged as it would with a good icp? or will a new icp make it start better then not having one hooked up at all...

bumpin to the top for the day crew

well .. I dont know what to say I figured Id have a few opinions ..

anyway I ordered one today Im goin to try it .. I hooked it to the snap on scanner at work and watched the icp as I cranked it, it didn't move at all for the motors first 6 or 7 revolutions then it went it did go up it went up real slow .. I checked the hpop its about 3/4 of a inch from the top so I know its not low on oil up there even after it sits all night its not bleeding down

I figured since there was oil in the plug even if this dont fix the hard start it wont have oil in the plug anymore with a new icp

well if anyone has a long crank issue like I did the icp fixed the problem... fires up so easy now less then 1/2 the crank time as before and idles smoother right up off the start up

well im glad you figured it out, i didnt know what to tell you lol. Where is the icp located and what does that stand for?

I must say I was amazed not one person had any info for me on this .. truly a first, I ALWAYS find the answers to problems here..

for a moment I thought I was invisible

ICP - Injection Control Pressure sensor its on the top front of the left head between the alternator and the lifting hook to yank the motor

i have the same problem i was just fixing to ask if it was suppose to be like this... after you changed it did it run any better or did it just make it start easier???

thanks

[Cj Ford]

starts way way faster and runs better for sure smoother idles better

it seems to have better throttle response and power too..
