Question FIPL Help?!? Getting codes 23 & 41

Hi there-

I took my 1992 Ford F150 (V8-302 5.0L) to a shop near my house to get the diagnostic codes run on my truck. It came back with the two codes of 23 & 41.

My truck has been idling VERY high, when it's in neutral or when I push the clutch in to change gears. Then the other day, as I was driving around town -- it died on me about 4 times.

Can anyone tell me what the two codes mean and/or how to go about fixing them? I know that it might have to do with a FIPL or something?

Any information would help... thanks!!

Ford started the transition from 2 to 3 digit codes in 1991 are you sure you have 2 digit codes? How did the shop pull the codes for you?

Second question, what is a FIPL?

Well... I paid about $100 a few weeks ago at a Firestone shop for them to do a diagnosis on my truck because I was having trouble with it. They fixed the primary problem that I brought it in for that day, but there was the idling issue that they didn't fix. I took it back today, and asked them to pull the codes again so that a friend of mine can work on it for me (as I can't afford to pay their labor again). The mechanic came back with a piece of paper and the following was written on it:

2 codes
-23 (TP/FIPL sensor out of range)
- 41 (EGO not switching)

I googled what a FIPL was, and I guess its a fuel injection pump lever?

FIPL is only on Diesel Trucks.
It mounts on the side of the injection pump and provides information to the Transmission control.

You have a TP Sensor or shorten to TPS, TPS = Throttle Position Sensor.

If you have a Standard Transmission, an AOD or a C6 then yes you would have 2 digit codes.
The three digit codes were only for the E4OD in 1992.

I would check out the TPS first.
Here is a link to some information on the TP sensor.
