Running ruff...hard to start

Last week my 2000 f250 7.3 died while goin down the road..after researching the PROBLEM and testing I ordered an icp and pressure regulator for it...changed the sensor that didn't SOLVE it then the regulator and got her started up...ran like new like before for 2 days then started noticing a miss then the next morning ruff idling and after a couple hours its back to being hard to start with no power while attempting to drive...unplugged the icp which was a cheap one and it will start but it's hard to..another note..I also changed the crank position sensor before the icp which I bought at auto zone...please help..

Welcome to FTE.

First and foremost… Our 7.3L do not like aftermarket sensors period! ONLY OEM! Once you replace them with OEM sensors report back.
