What all have you replaced? Just the ICP sensor?

i took it to ford and they replaced the wiring and icp, myers garage did a new #8 injector. replaced the cps and still nothing.. haven't checked fuel pressure yet. i bought it a couple months ago and it had a lot of dirt and crap in the fuel bowl and it started running bad like the injectors were going out then i cleaned it good and it straightened up and i put new synthetic oil in it and the vibration started. its like a pulsing you can feel and it runs rough around 40-50 mph. but still when i disconnect the icp i clears up the pulsing feel but it does run a little rougher

i was thinking the injectors might be scared up bc the crap in the fuel could that cause it? or a hpop problem or ipr or fuel pressure?... the truck was sitting for years when i bought it and they drove it here and it sucked crap up into the motor i think that may me a factor,, the only other thing i did was change from conventional to synthetic that couldn't do it could it?

Does it have plenty of power when accelerating and just run rough or does it fall on its face? Are you running 15w40 synthetic?

I'm running the rotella t6 synthetic in it now.. it was just regular 15w40 I'm sure in it its whole life...it seems to wrong strong but right in the 40-50 range it just feels shaky and not as strong and smooth.. if i really step on it and run through the gears fast and get up to 60 quick i don't feel it. its when i cruise and slowly get around 40 it starts to do it..i imagine that and the weird vibration are connected.. i thought it was the icp til i got a new one and it still does it and it stops when its unplugged ..im stumped and no one seems to know what do do where iv taken it before
