questions about icp sensor
hey guys, had a couple questions for ya, ever since i got my truck i have had a very slight hesitation at cruising speed only at a certain rpm, well i got my oasis report and saw that the icp sensor was replaced in 04 due to these symptons, so i figured that it didnt fix the problem. well my truck doesnt do the hesitation anymore it is pretty smooth actually but i noticed the truck is just a little bit slower than it was. i pulled the connector off the icp when the truck was running and there was absolutley no change in how it idled ( should there be) and there was also oil inside the connector... is it possible my icp sensor was bad all along and it just finally went?

If there is oil in it, it does need replacement..Un plugging the ICP is a form of troubleshooting, but if I remeber correctly, if you truck shuts down while driving, you then unplug the ICP, if it starts and idles, plug it back in and try again, if it doesnt start, bad ICP.. but oil in the ICP mean replace..Good Luck

How much oil in the plug?
Usually a faulty ICP sensor will cause some idle issue and unplugging it while running will smooth things out. If you didn't notice any change, your ICP may still be working fine.

There were none. If you've only got a little bit of oil in the plug, and no other symptoms pointing to an ICP issue, I'd leave it alone. Just keep an eye on it in case it gets worse.

Not very common, but I thought I'd throw it out there. Otherwise Joe is right. 99% of the time you can't unplug the IPR and have your truck stay running.
