IPC Sensor Help!
I have a sensor on the top of the engine on the driver side that has oil coming out of it. I think it is called an IPC but I want to make sure before I go buy a new one. It sits right behind the power Steering pump. I am replacing the Power steering pump and hoses so I thought I would replace that as well. Also since there is oil in the connection what is the best way to clean the connection electric parts cleaner? By the way this is a 2000 7.3 4x4

Close. It is the ICP (Injection Control Pressure) sensor and I just replaced mine. Part no. F6TZ-9F838-A
Best price I could find for the OEM part was Amazon and from Sunrise Ford. 5/8" crowsfoot to remove the old one and 1 1/6" socket or wrench to install the new one. Also check your plug wiring to make sure it doesn't need replacing too. Mine was good so I used some electrical contact cleaner on it to clean the oil.

I just got bent over at the local Stealership after bought the ICP and a pigtail as I cannot get the old one cleaned. 293 dollars later. At least I know it is OEM and I did not want to wait.

I really don't understand why people worry about oil in the connector. If oil in a connector was any kind of problem at all, there wouldn't be 18 connectors under the valve covers. If the wires aren't compromised, just clean it up the best you can and don't worry about it. The oil isn't a problem, the leaking sensor is (or at least can be) a problem.

Everyone, I just wanted to give everyone an update. The ICP does not have a warranty that I could see even though the dealership said they would replace if it went bad in the first 90 days. The pigtail was the same. The truck runs a lot better now that I have a working ICP. And the new Autozone PS pump I put in is the quietest one I have had since 2012. My truck just turned 350000 and runs like it is brand new!

Glad you fixed the problem, we spenk over 2.5k trying to get the truck running with different mechanics when it ended up being the icp....

Contact cleaner and some mild detergent at most.
