Will not start. Drove back from the store parked in the drive an hour later wouldn't start? Changed all the filters. Im getting oil pressure on the low end haven't had time to fully check everything. The only code is p2285 but this shouldn't keep it from starting.

dtc 2285 injector control pressure circut low this will cause a nostart
unplug the wire from the sensor and see if it starts pcm will use a default value
probably bad icp sensor or pigtail
check these and welcome to fte

Blade you nailed it icp sensor, under turbo not bad to get to. There are instructions in tech folder on how to replace it you can do it in 2 to 3 hours. Have you had surging problems leading up to it. Mine never quit running just got light and 2285 code. They do leak oil yours pig tail must have gotten real oily to quit. They cost about 140 to 160, try partsguyed he is the cheapest.

pulled the wire is only good to verify you have good/bad icp sensor
if its truly low oil pressure on high pressure side your problem is deeper if pulling the wire thing dont work

Ok I looked for the icp to unplug it. Can it be done from the top? Not sure where it is is their a video somewhere that shows a how to? Man I like my 7.3l it is a lot easier to work on (for me that is) :-)
