Is this normal??
Hello everyone! I'm back for some more of your advise.
When my truck sits at idle my RPM's jump about 2 or 3 hundred, maybe even less. You can hear the idle change but really can't see it move on the tach. Once I hit the accelerator everything is fine and the truck still runs great. I'm just curious if this is a symptom of some greater problem heading right at me. I've almost convinced myself that it's a sensor going bad or something to do with the injectors. My truck has 83,000 miles on it, new oil, and fuel filter. No diagnostic codes are stored. Heck maybe this is normal and I just haven't noticed it before. Thanks for your help!

No I don't hear any clicking. Also it doesn't do it all the time. It happens about 75% of the time. I think it's been doing this for several months but I really didn't pay any attention to it until 3 or 4 days ago when my stereo quit working. With no noise maker all I could hear was the purr of that diesel.

Is the ICP something you can buy from an international dealer? If so does anyone have the international part number and an idea of how much it cost?

You can, just ask for an ICP sensor for a Powerstoke or t444e motor about $100 (the Ford dealer has them readily available on the shelf for $180)
