Possible ICP Sensor Problem

Earlier I posted a message about my truck sputtering after running for about ten minutes. It will stop shortly after running it another 10-15 minutes. Well, the emission light came on yesterday and the truck died at a slow idle. It started back up fine. So here is my problem. I grabbed a code reader and plugged it in. It cam up as P2285 (Injector Control Pressure Sensor Cir. Low.) so I figured, "Aha, this is what they must have replaced last time because I've only had this prob since they replaced it." For an engine to sputter and die like this, do you think its the ICP, I mean, the codes can't be lying...right?

BTW, I got sick of hearing crap about the EGR, so I unplugged it. This didn't help at all by the way.

Let me know your opinion folks.

check the wiring into the connector for the ICP sensor, and the actual sensor itself could be bad. but that sounds like ICP to me.
The ICP controls/reads how much pressure the injectors are under, so if it doesnt have the right voltage, or the sensor is bad, it can cause the symptoms you described

Unplug the icp. If it runs that is your problem.

Big time sorry guys. The 74 is my old truck. The current problem is on my 2004 Ford F350 Diesel.

sounds like you need an icp sensor and an icp connector.
