Ipc replacement

Hi all, I just got word crom the mechanic it is the icp sensor.
He is getting numbers from ford on the parts.

Is there anything else he sould do at the same time, that makes sense?

ICP Sensor is a piece of cake on an '05, no need to do anything else at the same time since there isn't much labor involved.

I think they recommend the pigtail, from that sensor when you do it. It might be contaminated with oil...

Mine was leaking, but I didn't bother changing the connector. Over $50 for a pigtail is ridiculous! I really don't understand why they have you splice the harness instead of just cleaning the plug out with electronics cleaner like I did.

LOL--it takes about 30 seconds or less to change the ICP on an 05. Pigtail maybe 5 minutes if the tech is SLOW.

You always seem to have a caveat!

Once again people...thank you very much for the help, advice and occasional entertainment.
If I had the proper scan tool I would have done it myself. I am not a mechanic, but am bright enough and analytical...so I usually get by.
Two questions though.

Best scan tool for a non mechanic
What gauges should I have in my truck

Thanks again, w/out your guidance, it would be very tough to do a lot of this on my own, and save a good chunk of change.
