ICP Sensor question

I just got a po476 code when I performed the KOER test on AE. I pulled the wiring from the sensor and yes there's a little oil in there. The engine runs rough at idle like it's missing and it less noticeable at higher RPMs.

When I tried to re-start the engine it took forever get started. I just cranked for about 20 seconds until it started. Even after shutting the engine off and immediately re-starting the crank time is around 10-15 seconds.

Is all of this inter-related to the ICP sensor being bad or is there another issue with my long crank time?

Thanks,
Drake

P0476 is your EBP sensor. Unless you unplugged both of them at the same time and reversed the ICP/EBP connectors, that particular code shouldn't be related to the ICP.

Does oil in the ICP sensor cause long crank times to start or does the EBP sensor failure cause that?

Sorry I can't help with all of it, but several months ago one morning my truck almost didn't make it into the driveway after I backed out. Running very rough. I had a lot of oil in the connector, cleaned with electrical cleaner, ran good after. Replaced the sensor two days later. Not very scientific, but hasn't acted up like that since.
The ICP sensor.

So, maybe I should be asking where I should look for the cause of the long crank time to start. Anyone have an idea where I should be looking?

Mine took a long time to crank, like you describe, after I had evacuated an oil gallery in order to change an injector. I didn't see anywhere in the thread where you had confirmed the level and quality of the oil. Very important for our engines. Doubtful that it's that simple, but the symptoms matched so thought I'd let you know. Good luck.

I stumbled onto that shortly after it went online and it's just too good to not have a permanent link.
