The ICP system is the cause of many, many, many surging problems. It still amazes me that another member here (me1mkee) has these exact symptoms, while both Ford and his dealer refuse to replace a 60 dollar sensor. Maybe with the recall out he will get his truck fixed.

Here's the funny part. The new recall has us replacing the ICP connector on the 2004's with the ICP sensor located on the right valve cover. ALL of the one's that I have had a problem with were the earlier engines with the ICP sensor behind the turbo. Go figure.

The injection process is actually is a little more complex then that but I wanted to keep my reply related to ICP. The ICP sensor also provides information to the Fuel Injection Control Module to calculate injection timing and it also allows the PCM to monitor the condition of the high pressure oil system.

The truck ran and drove fine and it wasn't even plugged in. I am guessing the computer compensates to set values in the ECM coding when a failure like this occurs..............

Unplugging the sensor throws the mass fuel quantities off in the crank fuel calculations; they won't start in open loop. Some of them, depending on calibration, will continue to run if you unplug it at idle; some of them won't. If it does continue to run, the truck will have the nastiest feeling throttle in the history of earth

icp, ipr, turbo oil tube, valve cover. They are all possible, but if your sure your icp is bad shell out the money and change it, my truck was the same thing, that little baby fixed the bad running and the oil. Don't worry its expensive fixing all these little things, once your done though its worth it!
