Ok I have a friend with a 2003 psd 6.0 L . I have a AE he has told me in the mornings that when he goes to start it it will cackle real bad. Also the check engine light will Come on some times it will go off then some times will stay on for a coulple days. With the AE it retrieved Codes

P2285
B1352

Is one of these codes causing the issue? I know my 7.3 L farely well but not to flewent with the 6.0L

P2285 = ICP sensor circuit low

Usually when that code appears, it means the ICP sensor voltage has fallen outside of the 0.18 to 0.24 volts the PCM wants to "see". And yes this can, and often does cause surging and uncommanded increase in engine RPMs. Have a look under the engine, just below the turbo. If you see an oil leak, chances are the sensor has failed. Replace an ICP sensor and wiring pigtail connector and it'll be good to go. This is pretty typical for 2003 model year 6.0L engines.

I'm having the same problem with my '03 F350.
Just bought it, and am a newb to Diesels...
Could this also contribute to poor fuel econo?

It's also time for winter blend diesel and most reports I'm hearing are for 2 to 3 MPG loss.

If your ICP is bad then the computer can't efficiently run your engine. It's going into a default mode to try and run.

Trying to find this ICP on partsguyed .com not having any luck. Seach is ICP sensor, and sensor. Would it be under something else?

Thanks for the info....Sounds like the problem exactly...
Should be a relatively easy fix, Right?

That's because the ICP sensor on your truck is under the turbo, being a 2003 model year, NOT on the passenger side valve cover like the picture posted above, which applies only to late build 2004 and later model years.

But what is the voltage reading at key-on/engine-off? Is it between 0.18 and 0.24 volts?

The part numbers you need for YOUR truck are 3C3Z-9F838-EA for the ICP sensor and 5C3Z-12224-A for the wiring pigtail connector, if you're having trouble finding it from www.partsguyed.com.

Hope this helps.
