ICP sensor replacement; wire harness too?

My ICP sensor is starting to leak oil in my valley, I want to replace it but do I also have to replace the wiring harness or can I clean the old harness to remove oil and then use electrical greese and put it back on the new sensor?

Thanks in advance!

Sweet! Any idea the torque setting on the sensor?

Also, do I need to buy Motorcraft or can I get one from the autoparts store?

Check out riffraff in my sig, he has them for decent price, and is a site sponsor. I wouldn't use aftermarket for any of the sensors personally. I'm not anti aftermarket, just think that the performance of this engine is based on calibrations that are very dependent upon accurate data from the various sensors...

I would go Motorcraft, some auto parts sensors are junk.

Thanks all! RiffRaff has a number of items I've been looking for in one location. The prices are good so I'm happy!

Customer service isn't too shabby either. The only down side is he lives so far away from us, but I'd want to be near Tugly too if I sold parts. He's a gold mine with that buckszooka lol

So I got my box from RiffRaff last night. Time to switch out my leaky ICP sensor. Any tips on changing one? It seems very straight forward, but what torque for new sensor in the motor?

Too late, I can only afford to send one vendor's child to college.

I just used the elbowmeter... snuggems 'til it felt right. I think it was a 5/8" claw foot to get the old one out, but the new one is much easier to install with a deep socket.
