This works because with no hpo going to the head the icp sensor will read zero and when cranked from ignition, the pcm will command the ipr to close trying to get icp. The only time this may not work is if the ipr has failed and will not close when commanded(of course then a new ipr may solve the whole issue)
I will see if our local hydraulic shop has something. I have tried my tests with another ipr and it did the same things so I suspect its not the IPR.

I like 1023s new location. They are now about 50 minutes from me vs over an hour. Now I can buy my parts a little easier and local.

Well the update is that the hydraulic shop is 4 week wait time on the fittings for testing the hpop and it would be about $60 for fittings plus $20-$60 for shipping........Looking into a new hpop and its a 2-3 week wait for a CNC stage 1 from 1023 or CNC.

The thread in the pump is a -6 o-ring boss and the heads are -5 ORB if that helps you figure out a work around before dropping the coin. Have you checked for any leaks at the high pressure plugs in the heads? Some of them can be hard to spot unless you break out the flashlight and give them a good once over.

OK thanks that helps. I was thinking of swapping out the hpop lines if I am going to have the lines unhooked and im pretty sure they are stock. If I swap them out with CNC new hoses with the new fittings I should be able to find a gauge that fits those easier.

This kit.
https://1023diesel.com/cnc-fabricati...nt-hpop-lines/

Stopped at 1023 yesterday but they don't have HPOP's in stock. One of those things you have to order out. Gave some recommendations to check for any leaks at all including the back of the head plugs. But all the leaks I have right now is my thermostat housing gasket.

Yep, those are the most recommend hpo lines around. I've got a little personal thing w/ CNC so no first hand experience, but I can say that the jic connections are a lot easier to source than the factory STC. Side note fun fact, JIC and ORB use the exact same thread size for size. That little nugget has managed to get me home under my own power once or twice.

I wouldn't rule out the IPR based on an OHM test. I had a gremlin where the truck would miss at light driving conditions when heat saturated but ran fine under other conditions. It also had the same idle recovery issue you mentioned all the time. I replaced the IPR and it resolved both issues. The new IPR and old one OHM'd out the same on the bench. I suspect the resistance would have been different if the old one was at 200+ degrees.

OHM test also only checks the electrical side. It doesn’t tell you anything about the physical movement (or sticking) of the spool valve. 👍

Does anyone happen to know what size fittings the CNC lines are? They look like aviation fittings but Im not positive. I would like to hook up my gauge to them to see what my HPOP is putting out.

ok thanks that’s what I was thinking it looked like but wanted to make sure they were the right flare angle. I work aviation so we have plenty of those fittings around and should be able to plumb it to a gauge.

So after fixing the wifes car dealing with several rain storms and a fire call. I finally got the new lines installed today. I deadheaded the passenger line with a plug and installed the gauge on the drivers side HPOP line. Test was done cold as I had just got done for the night. Now I am leaning towards injectors unless it could be the ICP which isn't very old from RiffRaff in the last 4 months. Heres the youtube link.

I would install a new Motorcraft IPR before investing in injectors. Best case it fixes you problem, worst case you now have a spare. A new LPOP might not be a bad idea either.
