FIPL sensor sends info to the tranny computer to tell it when to shift.Set it up as follows;disconnect wire from the high idle sens,turn key on,engine off,check the voltage between the centre wire and either wire on the plug on the filp sens with the plug in place on the sens(use paper clips or such to push into the back of the wires on the plug and use them to put the meter leads onto)there are 3 wires on the plug.You are looking for 1.0 volts.If you do not have the proper reading loosen the 2 screws for the sens and rotate the sens to achieve the 1.0 volt setting.You wont have to move it much to see a change in voltage.

So what does that acronym(FIPL) stand for, if you kno please,
& is that setting up a standard procedure when & if I.P. is R&R'd?
The reason I ask is my BlueBeast had inj. & pump rebuild,Got her outta sickbay & I have never had the E4OD work so efficiently since I've owned her!!
At any speed she grabs the desired gears upshifting or down!!

FIPL-fuel injection pump lever.I would say if after a r&r of the ip you are having shift patern probs then that would be the 1st thing to check,i dont know if the re-builders set them.In my case it was not set,so out came the meter,and all was well after setting it up.i was having rough and hard shifts.

FIPL
Hi;Tried to adjust FIPL Sensor.Got 1 volt at idle but i checked the ohms not runing and got 980,i think it should be 1800.Now it takes off inthird gear unless i shift it manual.If i slow downto about 40 k it jump back and forth from first to third.Also i can't take it out of O.D.I push the button and the light come on but nothing happen.It all started after i moved the FIPL.Help please.

Try setting it up again.When looking for the 1.0 volts engine should be warmed up 1st.Then shut off engine,turn key to run position(engine still not running)and set to the 1.0 volt.You may have to go a range from 0.98 to 1.10 to find what works best to suit your driving habits,take your time and drive it after every setting change to see what works best for you.

I just bought a F350 crew cab with a 7.3. The transmission was shifting hard. I took your advise and adjusted the FIPL by using a volt meter. One lead on the middle wire and one on the negative side of battery. My truck is now shifting flawlessly. Thanks. I first took it to the Ford place. They said it needed a new tranny. I didnt believe them because it wasnt slipping it was only shifting hard and at the wrong time. They would have put in a rebuilt tranny at about 2 grand and I would have still had the same problem.
