I replaced the icp in a 2007 ford 6.0 and now it will not crank. I can unplug the icp and it will start, I can also put the old icp in andit will start. The connection has no oil on it and it seems to fit tight too. Is there any thing else I need to try?
I looked and couldn't find an Ohm spec to test the sending unit, so I don't know of a way to check the sensor without plugging into the PCM.
Looking at live data for ICPV while cranking would be your best bet, if it never changes but the truck will run without the sensor, it's pretty much for-sure a sensor problem.
ICPV is the actual voltage reading from the sensor, most gauges also report ICP desired by the PCM. You have to look at the actual voltage reading, because the PCM won't start the engine unless it sees 500psi, which is something like 0.85V or 1.25V on the actual ICPV reading. So if you crank and ICPV never hits the magic number, the truck won't start. If you unplug the sensor the truck runs off the assumption that it's getting ICP desired; meaning the mechanics behind high pressure oil is good enough to run the truck, and you have an electrical/sensor issue.
