Lurching and running poorly
Got the truck back together and it has run great for three days. On my way home tonight, it immediately started lurching and not running smoothly and has thrown a code. I have had this problem before, about a year ago. That time the Injector Control Sensor was bad. $200 later (guess what, another effing FORD only part) and the truck ran great. Now, the same symptoms today. I'm getting real tired of the crappy bad luck with this truck.
Does anybody know who may have aftermarket parts like sensors? I know that Ford said that I couldn't get o-rings and such from anybody other than a dealer, well I got some from an aftermarket guy. He chimed in here so I am holding out hope that I can find some. I'm now financially tapped because of this damn truck so buying rip-off FORD parts isn't possible. No truck, no work. I'm pretty angry.

That, I don't know. If it is the sensor, I'm thinking that they are just junk. $200 junk.
Waiting for my brother to bring his scanner over after work tomorrow and then we'll know for sure.

Please correct me if I am wrong. If the CPS is bad the truck wouldn't even start, right? Already had that replaced under the recall a year ago.

I'll go try that now, but if it's unplugged wouldn't that still make it run crappy?

Check to see if you have oil in the ICP. If unplug it and it is the issue it should clear up.

Check engine light still on. started fine, idled fine with the sensor plugged and unplugged. Last time this happened truck seemed to run fine when the engine had cooled a bit, but once it got warm, crappy running.

But why will it run better if the sensor is bad and unplugged?

It runs better because it defaults to a stock table, but it is just a fail safe as you will be lacking power and efficiency.

If it has oil in it, what would that indicate?
