Looks like im going to have to run to sears. I dont have a socket deep enough for the ipr. I just removed the spare ipr from the old hpop and had to use a wrench. Thats not going to happen with the hpop in the truck.

no but the fuel filter housing is in the way. The last one I did was on my 95 and I was able to remove the FPR and get enough room. may need to unbolt the fuel filter housing just so you can push it aside.

oh god no! it will come out, you can get in there it just takes some finegeling, i have never pulled anything other than the top plastic cover off, and they do make an ipr socket but its more of a pain than the wrench.

I just want to say as an outsider with zero technical input to add here, that I'm amazed at the time, effort, and commitment you guys are putting in to help FordForever out. I cruise the other forums and rarely see the kind of help being shared like happens here. That's why I'm here.

he doent really have the equipment for that, the ipr is easy enough to pull out. i dont know if his scanner has active comand functions, if it did he could do an airleak test by closing the ipr and removing the icp then instal a homemade adapter in the head with an airchuck fitting and slap your house compresser line on, then all you do is follow your ears for the leak
