You can test it before removing. It was known to be bad, so it was replaced.

 

nice write up.i was wonderin is there a way to test the connector for the ICP? i have oil on my connector and was wondering if i can just clean it or if i need to replace the connector.

 

If the connector has oil on it, you can clean it. The question you need to answer is: Where is the oil coming from? Most likely the ICP sensor is leaking internally and causing the oil to weep into the connector.

If you need a new connector, Riffraff Diesel has you covered!
