You said 200 K but your odometer was reading 355K if I was reading it correctly?

Good question.

Unplug ICP sensor and see if problem changes.

Consider investing in a scan tool like Forscan or even Torque Pro. I like Scangauge2 as well.

Because, it’s getting harder to find a mechanic to efficiently work on these trucks and with a scan tool and help from us - there’s little you can’t figure out and fix yourself.

Always use Ford originals for sensors. Other possible culprits are plugged/bad EBP sensor/tube or MAP sensor.

Until you get some way to read PIDs, we are taking potshots at best.

Hard to start when cold ? White smoke ? Does the engine clear up at higher rpm and run smooth ?

Get this OBDLink MX+ OBD2 Bluetooth Scanner for iPhone, Android, and Windows
Amazon Amazon

And then download FORScan. You'll be needing it more than just this time if you plan to keep the truck.

Just to give everyone a update on my truck. I haven't got the scan tool in yet just I went ahead and changed the fuel pump on the frame and I haven't had anymore problems out of it since. Thanks to everyone that help and put in the input. I appreciate everyone.
