DON'T FILL IT WITH GAS. All tho that might permenantly solve your issue.
hehehe... walked right into that one, huh?

Good call and thanks for the thought. I have the bottom two gauges on the scangauge set to coolant and oil temps and the oil temp has been consistent. I've got those two on the bottom and now ICP and FICM voltage up top.
What about the EBP Sensor? Can you monitor EBP and see what it reads when it's surging? I'm learning the 6.0 too. Don't let me derail you from what you're already doing. Just throwing it out there.
Nope, not problems at all. I appreciate ALL feedback, believe me. I replaced the MAP and EBP sensors about three months ago and have checked the EBP gauge when it was surging... everything seemed within normal ranges.
Hokie post these Values
ICP
ICPV
FICM lp
FICM vp
koeo,low,high at 2500, keep the gauge on these and when it acts up try to get them one at a time .
Did you install the Blue spring, may need to look at fuel pressure, the scan gauge wont read this.
'nother update: It hasn't done now it two days, but I did notice that the ICPV seemed to be a little low at low idle at .75 and 660 ICP.
Once there's ANY gas applied, it's over 1.0 and it's running fine. It still hasn't choked or surged since I first posted this, but I thought it was always supposed to be around or over 1?
If you using a SGII to monitor you might want to double check codes, particularly th MTH #'s. It could also be related to the tune, some stratigies change reported sensor values to get the desired result.
Take these values like this
koeo(key on engine off) low (idle no AC or radio) high ( 2500 rpm)
ICP
koeo-0 low-625.5 high-1400/1450 operating range=0-4045
ICPV
koeo- 0.2 low-1.0 high-1.8 operating range=0.15-4.7
The cooler weather mite be playing a role it did on mine, once the temps went up so did the Issue. we need to get the values of the test first. then while driving will see what takes place
Is there a cross reference part or place I can get this pigtail other than the dealer? I thought I'd read it somewhere before.
Thanks again for all the help!
The ICP Pig tail from ford
5c3Z-122224A connector-3- $ 83.33
I called our ford dealer here about a cross over Number they said no crossover that this # fits all 6.0 years , there could be a after market # . Hokie you may want to call International the price might be a little lower or even Riff Raff diesel Products.
