Did you previously check & clean the connection to the ICP ?

I might have some crud in my oil.......
I never did clean the connection but it did look ok. But I will clean it anyway. As far as the code I got that was probably from when I started it with the ICP unplugged. I am going to clean it and assume if the code don't come back the connection is good.

Maybe. When I removed the plug it was about a inch and a half below the top. Not sure where it should be. The first time it happend a few months ago the rez was empty. Could a sticking IPR cause a leak down?

I wish they had the fifty dollar rebuild for my truck. The one for my truck is over four hundred. Just over 200 for the 96 and up.

IPR cannot cause the leak .. Injector O ring , & of course the pressure relief valve under the oil filter are a couple of reasons

Before I go spending 400 bucks on a new IPR I think I am going to try to take mine apart and clean it. Will I have to remove the fule filter housing to get that ****** out? Maybe just the FPR?

Yes, that's what he said. I think Scatgo next question is about how to clean it. Wasn't there a write up on that lately? I have an old one that I need to clean.
