And I'm sure they will be happy to take your money.

Bottom line if the ICP was bad as they are saying it would throw a code because it is out of it voltage range high or low. If they didn't pull a 1209, 1210, 1211, 1212 code which are all ICP related than you don't need to replace it. The most likely code for a bad ICP sensor is 1212 which is "Voltage Not at Expected Level" which means the sensor input back to the PCM is not as expected i.e. the sensor is bad. Ask them what codes they pulled, they should have noted it in the original service slip, then we can tell you what you need. Just trying to save you 300 hundred here.

I got a spare ICP sensor in the garage, picked it up on eBay for $20 and swapped it out with my original one to make sure it worked. I still say you can get an IDM and an ICP for way less than $300, and yes they are ford specific parts but you don’t gotta buy them from Ford, in-fact Ford buys most of its parts from International then puts them in a Ford bag and sells it to you for twice the price.

The ICP sensor and the IDM are not linked in any way and do not fail together or go with each other. Run, run while you can.

I have bought lots of “Ford specific parts” on eBay and from online junk yards, most of the eBay parts are new and in ford packaging and all have been way cheaper than Ford and have fit and worked with no problem. Heck, last week I bought a computer (PCM) for my truck for $75 delivered and it works great. Do what you want but if it were me I’d fix it myself for about $200 IF that is what is really wrong with it.

Hang on, now...isn't there a BIG recall from Ford where there is a sensor that is causing most vehicles (E-series & F-series) with the 7.3 to stall? Is this related, alabamafrog? I understand that sledgehammer's vehicle is losing power & has to shut it off & it runs fine with no codes afterwards, but could there be a connection? If so, Ford's supposed to replace these sensors for free.:dunno:If not...just tell me to shaddup!

the recall has to do with the Cam Position Sensor (CPS). i already changed that one. CPS problems is a complete shutdown, which is not what i was having. i swapped out the IDM and haven't had a problem yet. the other sensor i was wondering about is not broken yet.

Ok, please forgive me for getting too much off topic, but I brought my truck into my Ford dealership for a service. Funny how we were talking about CPSs earlier & it turns out they found it's original & needed to be replaced:hehe:! Sorry for the :twocents: I'm gone.
