Looking more closely, it appears that I do have the rear of the axle mounted monster tank that is steel. Wondering if there are plastic replacements for this tank as I have heard of the internal coating breaking loose, etc.

If so, one or more loose injectors can make the engine sound more knocky, cause bucking, and pop the SES light because of ICP bleed. A quick look at the fuel filter to see if it's black may point to this.
Finally can see the top of the motor (very tight in the front of a van). Fuel filter pre-screen was pretty dirty (fine particles). ICP is definitely the old style and has the oil leaking through the connector wires. IPR "looks ok" not sure if it has the tin nut (how do I tell?). CPS will be changed at the dealer do to recall on Wednesday.

BTW. The engine starts right away and idles well. Also seems to be a bit rough running at 40+ MPH. Just also did an oil change, etc. Added Archoil AR9100, but will not road test until I replace the ICP.
