Should I pull the IPR sensor and check the o-ring?
I've disconnected the sensor and all it did was cause the tranny to shift harder.

At operating temperature and at 2500rpm and higher the problem is not there.

I would trust and belief what Action4478 say's and check the IPR o-ring...Troubleshooting takes time and a process of elimination....believe me.

I will double check in the morning to see if I'm 100% sure the problem doesn't exsist when it's cold. Maybe it does and it's just not as pronounced.
One time it was really bad and it was effecting the shift firmness, only happened once though.
...You unpluged the IPR? or the ICP?

I unplugged the sensor on the front of the driver's side head. I believe is the IPR sensor.

Should I try unplugging the IPR to see if the problem goes away?

if you unplug the IPR it will not run it controls the oil pressure to the injectors

I will check the IPR o-ring first, then I will change the oil if that shows no problem.
