No Worries , are you sure the cap is OEM and not Aftermarket? the OEM is shorter than AM. ICP ( Injector control Pressure) late built 04 will be on the passenger side valve cover early built 04/03 is under the Turbo with the (IPR) in the IPR will be a screen if out or ripped is not good and needs to be fixed. this is why we Monitor with Gauges IE-Scan Gauge, dash boss, etc , Don't go too long, If the ICP values are wack then the Connection could be at fault ( oily or shorting out ) will make your truck stall buck and surge with high and low RPMs.

Hello, Im new to the powerstroke world and im needing some help, I just bought a 2004 Excursion and let me start off by saying I dont drive it much, but it sat for about 5-7 days last week and when I went to start it, it gave me fits, first off it took probaly 10 crank cycles to get it to start, it would fire for a split second and die, once it did start it chugged and puffed black smoke for about 30 seconds and started to run fine. any info would be great, also at time at idle is show no oil pressure but runs fine as soon as it gets over 900 rpms it goes right back up
