I had a ICP sensor that was swapped out for being bad from Josh's (JacksonJL) truck.
I checked it against a known good ICP sensor that I had. The resistance was way different so the ICP sensor was definitely bad. No oil internal to the connector or anything, just bad.
I decided to tear it apart and show the internals for everyone.
The white disk appears to be ceramic and houses the disk the pressure is taken from.
Here are the Ohm Readings I got:

Ken Once again you come though with the good STUFF !! 
Thank you for the photos and posting your test results on the ICP. That help me out alot since I don't have AE. I tend to try to just test out sensors. I really like the photos of the sensor taken apart. I like taken things apart too in hopes of learning how it works.
I would send reps but I am told to spread them around. But instead here is a cool beer.

Question
Tried to rep ya Ken but I'm in jail as well................
Question: Are the specs for the older (94-96) sensors different from the newer ones or is it just the thread on the case. They both use the same 5 volt reference but do they output differently???

I can't rep, but I can do this:
The photos are framed very well, in focus, and have the right lighting or adjusted properly for lighting. The use of a clean background for close-up photos of the product aid in seeing all the details. The comparison between the old/new correct products and the incorrect product is very clear - there is very little likelyhood of any confusion on the part of the reader. The step-by-step instructions on removal, inspection, and installation are very concise with accompanying photos. This is all an unselfish act of good will toward his fellow 7.3L owner:

- Saving it in a format that is universally readable to all computer owners.

Just thinking, I'd like to do this tomorrow.
