NOW THIS!!! DIED, SKIPPING

just got my truck running a few days ago, found out it was a faulty ICP. Today i warmed my truck up like normal, ran fine for 5 min then it just died! thinking it was no big deal i started it back up and everything seemed fine. Driving down the road for about 3min it started to skip about every 5min or so. and from what i can see it does it when i hold my throttle steady. PLEASE HELP!

i just replace last week my idm, cps, tps and peddle assembly. thinking these were the problem for my last issue. should i put my old cps back in considering its fine?

Sounds like it could be the UVCH, but someone smarter than me will chime in soon.

Did you check the center pin on the UVCH connector for being burnt ? Do you get a CEL when it skips.. Have you read your fault codes ?

Could be the IPR (injector pressure regulator). These sometimes get stuck or dirty and cause the exact same symptoms as a bad cps. Sometimes it is just the orings around the IPR. The IPR controls pressure to injectors via the signal from the ICP. Sometimes unplugging the ICP will temporarily "unstick" a stuck IPR.

yup. the codes that were read were just soft code. one for my tuner and one for my ebpcv delete (i have a banks power elbow). so all the codes are reading fine. i did replace the cps with my old one and it looks like its working. but if not i will try the ipr

Can you look at data or just codes? I'd be curious as to what your HPOP pressure is. IPR could be too.

What kind of scanner did you use ? With a CEL, you should get more than you got..

Exclamation

Inspect the wiring harness that runs over the drivers valve cover closley.
After two CPS's I concluded it must be the UVCH started the teardown unbolted the loom fliped it up discovered a very small burn mark in the valve cover. It had two wireds rubbed through where the big plastic covering has slid down slightly.
Hope this helps.......
