Lossing power randomly
This all started bout 2 weeks ago and has progressively gotten worse. the check engine light comes on randomly at different times. You can't make it come on by accelerating or anything but its guaranteed to come on at least once in a 10-15 min ride to town. I've noticed the injector noise changes at idle when the light comes on. Its also down on power whenever this happens and feels like it does when its really cold and not warmed up when the EBP is closed. So i talked to a fellow 7.3 owner at the fire house. he let me borrow his superchip tuner to use the diagnostics on it and i got the following codes - p1280, p1249(wastegate fail b/c i have it disconnected and plugged), p1211, p0541(IAH disconnected). the 1280 and 1211 are both ICP codes 1280 (ICP out of range) and 1211 (ICP not controllable). So does this sound typical of an ICP sensor going bad? I have a diesel mechanic at the city shop whos going to take a look at it on thur. and drive it with his scanner on it. So just wondering what yall think. Thanks

Do an easy check of your ICP and save your money. Pull the plug out of the sensor and see if there is oil in it. Let us know what you find.
