have 6.0 2006. i have idle surge then drops down. problem is intermitant.dealer says good fuel pressure with no codes given. they say there are 2 pressure sensors.1 at top fuel filter other icp at side of motor.any ideas on trouble shooting which one or the pigtail only.

 

If it is the new updated part then the connector on the sensor is different and will require the updated pig tale. IRC the old connector is a 2wire while the new one is a 3 wire.

 

I have an 03 got same code dealer wanted 700 did not drive for 2 weeks, while reseaching problem found this site by accidend started reading went to tech folder and it shows how to get it from the top its not that hard to do its even got pics try it dont give dealer your money

 

got my sensor on e-bay for 45.00 spent 2and a half hours doing from the the top.used electricl contact cleaner to clean out the pigtail stuck her back together and she's running great.

 

I was charged about 800.00 from a dealer in Mississippi. Truck broke down and had to have it towed there. I was from out of town and at their mercy. should it be covered under warranty? I have 96K miles.

 

I did mine for $50. Got the sensor off of eBay used the original wiring haven't had a problem. It took me about 2 hours, most of the time was spent scratching my head. If I had to do it again, it would probably take 30 minutes. I got to it from the bottom.

 

My 03 ICP was replaced in 04, Ford paid the dealer 50 minutes time to do the job.

 

Have them give you a full break down of the charges.
Materials ... part numbers and cost.
Labor ... how many hours and how much $$ per hour.

$800 is crazy, but was it for other work too? Did you pay for the tow?

 

Had mine done on the engine 5 year waranty, 100 dollars deductible, they changed the pig tail also. Mine had an intermitent surging at iddle and between 1500 an 1700 RPM, it did not fixed the problem. I had the IPR changed today, it seem to have fixed the problem, so far so good, 100 highway miles, slide camper and trailer. Will see if problems come back.

 

If you don't mind please post or send me a pm as to what town or dealership you dealt with. I live in Miss and don't want to get taken by that dealership for sure.

 

Would you have the phone number for Internationl?
