E350 6.0 overdue maintenance project

hi all, my van is out of comishh and it is mainly my fault. I have avoided any major work under the hood because there is practically no space to do anything and it sucks!

But it's time! I have to replace the IPR valve and I'm curious what you all recommend I take care of while I am under the hood with so many parts out/accessible.

I'm at 160,000 miles and I don't mind replacing stuff even if its good now but the end is near.

thanks all.

P2623 code came up and from what I have read the IPR fits the bill.

Could also be shorted out wiring to the IPR.

I am definitely looking at the wires for sure. I tried to find a replacement connector and wires but couldn't figure the connector type. Once I'm in there I can figure it out, I suppose.

This book is a handy one to keep on your computer.
Here are the two PDF files of the Pigtail catalog

You can save a little with one file of the samethig
Here is a copy of the pigtail identification. Here is a link to this older one >>> https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...vfUd4Uttqu-Jp0

That is the one I posted in a single PDF and should download to your desktop.

Here is a link for the newer catalog.

Also if you can't find the needed connector at Ford or the price freaks you out you might try these guys.

I have not used them before so I can't say much about them.
