Ford Powerstroke 7.3 ICP sensor-Easiest way to diagnose it! 

You just got my 2002 F250 started. Thank you sir. I owe you a beer.

My new to me 95 would occasionally surge from 500 to 1200 or so rpm on a cold start, show the CEL on the first minute of running, and generally be difficult to start. It had oil getting past the icp. New ICP and it’s an easy smooth start with no craziness. Thanks Stephen!

Thank you so much you saved me, I have been struggling fixing the problem with my 1997 7.3

You just diagnosed my 1999 F350’s starting issue. Thank you!!

Thank you very much this was helpful

So thankful I found this!!

When you said good and tight it made my morning😂🤙🏾aloha from Hawaii. Thank you for the help

Second thing I would check in that scenario is the CPS. Especially if you haven't updated it to one of the new ones. That was my first and biggest problem back a number of years ago. Shut off while driving down the interstate, like you turned a switch and testing everything before I found out that was the culprit.

Thanks for the help.

Dude, thanks bro. 👍🙏✊🏼

Awesome video, just keep feeding those Dawgs and they will hang around forever haha

Hello dude.. Can you explain about the indication of the engine when the icp has problems,for example engine misfire,run rough,low power or any other symptom?

Thank u, that was really helpful,

Dont forget the IPR valve if bad will get you into a no start situation as well

The ICP fixed my problem.

"German tight " "Goodn tight " lol 😂

Good video

What's the parts number on the sensor in the video I've bought multiple sensors and none have the same threading

Thank for the video it helps

Mine wants to start black smokes a lot fires a few times but dies, I’m thinking I’ve got a bad IPR, it’s new, but it’s China, I ordered a new Motorcraft OEM one will be here in a few days hopefully that’s the issue.

Everything you said was true, but you you forgot to mention a no start situation due to a bad cam shaft position sensor. I have a buddy who left his truck down for the 3 months chasing oil problems when finally it was the c.s.p. sensor. The 7.3 is sometimes so simple it's easy to over look the simplier things. I've had several of them and they all got over 400k miles plus and still going to this day

I used a stubby gearwrench and a prybar, on the stubby, off of the alternator bracket. Real easy. Broke loose first push.

That's an early 99 truck. You can tell because the V8 badge is on the fender by the headlights and not on the doors along with the missing air intake heater.

I changed it for the hell of it so I don’t have a problem

Looking for help, recommendations, or resources. I have a Ford 1995 7.3 F250 manual with 150,000 miles. I have a starting issue. For the most part it is sporadic and happens when I cut off the truck and try to start it again after 10 or 15 minutes. It will turn off but doesn’t start. If I wait about 30 or 40 minutes it usually starts right up. I have had it not start a couple of time (one of which currently now), after sitting a few days. But for the most part it always starts after it sits for a day or more. The last time it didn’t start after sitting for awhile, it just started again a few days later. Any help tracking down the problem would be greatly appreciated.

thanku,,cheers

Oh yeah forgot to mention I was told I needed a new transmission! But I’m 99.9% sure this is the issue!

I have a 2000 Ford F350 4WD Crew Cab 7.3 Diesel and I can’t find that wire on the passenger side that you do the “buzz” test with. I have seen other videos that you have done and others have done using that wire to turn over the engine. Why can’t I find it. I’m the only owner of this truck and unless a ship that worked on my truck has moved or removed the wire I’m at a loss as to what happed to it. Do you have any insight that you can share?

Looking at buying a truck that has the 7.3 diesel engine, it starts great idles great but then you get on the highway and 2 miles down the road the engine just stops. Coast to the side of the road put it in park and it cranks right up again and off you go for about another mile or two. What do you think is wrong? Anyone that could help Thank you

Hi , I have a 01 f250 7.3, 265000 miles, lately I’ve been having this slight miss at idle, and you can see the tach drop a little, starts fine, runs fine out of idle! Do you think it’s icp sensor ? Or something else?

I know this video is old but hopefully you can get to this question. My truck has a jumpy idle. ICP is fairly new reads 80-100 psi while the engine is off don’t remember the voltage think it’s almost 1v. Is that normal with the engine off? Injectors are new ipr is new and HPOP is new. Got the p1211 after the HPOP install. Also the ipr will shoot up to 67% under a hard acceleration any knowledge is greatly appreciated

Crows feet! They work great for this

So my 7.3 runs and then dies and starts back up and I got oil on mine so do you think that is what it is

Dogs know the fence is on the can feel it without touching it just like horses can

Can the icp sensor cause no fuel to get into the bowl?

I unplugged it, ran for 10 seconds, died back out. Next step?

Look into getting an alpaca to help fend off those coyotes.

What about truck dying randomly but cranks right back up

Thanks for the information.

I've unplugged my icp and not only does it start but it seems to run better..what's up with that?

Will a faulty sensor ICP set a CEL?

Whats the part number

PLEASE HELP 7.3 ICP sensor insert hole has stripped out threads.

that is an early 99

So guys I got a dilemma I’ve been told by many people that could be my ICP or cps or ipr but nothing has confirmed it as to my research online it will start but shuts off once fully warmed up won’t start back until cooled down

My truck starts up every time but while I’m driving it and I hit a bump it shuts off

I c p same as CPS sensor ???

Maybe an early 99

9/16 = 14mm

Or your camshaft position sensor is bad

hate to have to sit thru all the garbage talk about everything except what i clicked on to hear

ICP made awful music

Well you ain’t Diesel Tech Ron.

You wasted a lot of time talking about nothing. I was really hoping to see you pull the icp and start the truck to see if oil came out to rule out oil pressure
