idle only. and a p2285 code
i have a 2005 f-450 w/6.0. it will start and idle fine, but does nothing when you press on the accelerator. it is showing a p2285/2286 code. there is also a 0237 code. will replacing icp sensor fix the problem

I had exactly the same issue last month. I checked the wiring connector on the ICP and found two pins shorted to ground. The three pins should have one ground, one 5v reference voltage and the third is the sensor signal back to the ECU. I of course feared the worst, that the harness was shorted somewhere.
I had the truck towed to my dealer and they found the EBP sensor shorted. The 5v reference voltage lead is common to the EBP and the ICP sensors. The short in the EBP sensor grounded the 5v reference voltage lead and caused the ICP 2285 code. I had other codes, but my cheap generic reader only showed the 2285 and 237 codes.

The 2005 coffee table book has the wiring diagram.

You should read ground on A, 5v on B and I think I seen 60 ohms or so to ground on C. In my case the EBP sensor (shown as EP on the wiring diagram) was shorted B to A in the EP sensor.
Good luck, thats all I can tell you. YMMV

IF you guys have the P2285 the first check is ICPV at KOEO
If you can unplug the ICP sensor and it will let the truck start Odds are High the ICP is Bad
Granted a V-REF problem will cause alot of problems its Not Common

have already replaced pigtail and ICP, the EBP is shorted between the 5v source and the return so this (i hope) will be the problem

so the 2 pins are continuos circuit circuit to each other I almost think that they should be I think this where the other FTE Member said he had 60 ohms between that one and Ground
You might try to unplug EBP sensor and see if it runs Better

Id suggest just disconnecting the connector from the EB sensor. If that restores the 5v reference signal to the icp sensor connector you mayhave a problem like mine. My dealer gave me the old EB sensor and i tested it with a vom. I seen the short from the vref pin to the ground pin, proving the mechanic was correct.

Update ... I replaced the EBP sensor and all problems went away. The resistance between pins A and B on the new sensor is 7.6KOhms. I had a closed circuit on the old one. I was getting the P2285 and P0237 codes immediately after clearing in KOEO. with the new sensor no codes at all thanks for everyone's input.

Thats for posting Fix reps given
And the Ohms per the new sensor
