ICM I used is Motorcraft DY1284, and the fan I referred to is the radiator fan

Is that the correct ICM for the year and engine? Sixteen posts in and you still haven’t told us what vehicle you are working on.

The fan is mechanically driven by the engine so, of course, it starts turning when the engine starts and keeps turning until the engine is turned off.

1990 F150 with 302 and AOD. And yes, the fan is mechanically driven. My apologies for poor phrasing before, I was in a bit of a rush, I was trying to say the fan speed was surging intermittently.

The motor is surging at the same time correct? Or is the fan locking and unlocking randomly causing it to sound stronger?

Ok, that’s normal operation. Motor shouldn’t surge, but fan noise is expected.

With your misfire, have you checked pip signal to coil to see if that’s skipping as well?

An old ICM thread shows these as the correct ICM

Is the 1284 correct for your truck?

1284 is the only one part stores list. It’s the Same one I use. Only difference is OP has an AOD and I have manual.

DY1074 has been discontinued and is superseded by DY1284 according to multiple sources.

Found either the issue or a further symptom. This lil guy blew up. In all transparency, no idea what this component is, updating here and will look around google after. Small text stamp is 98914 and large text stamp is 5101FG. Circuit board is stamped 06.

It’s a transistor. Wonder why it blew.. if you know how to rebuild that stuff, you can buy them and replace. If you do it yourself, replace the capacitors on the board no matter what!

Replaced the Mofset and caps, reinstalled, and so far so good! No CEL, idles fine. I'm waiting for decent weather before a test drive, just in case the blown mofset was just a symptom of another root issue. Made sure to get spares just in case. As an afterthought, not sure why I held the mofset in place with epoxy instead of tape when soldering. Mofset specs are the closest match I could find, we'll see if it lasts. Part#IRF730PBF-ND

Was it not glued to the heat sink originally? Hopefully it lasts!
