So I have bought about 3 icp sensors off eBay and had no luck with all 3. The last one I put in actually killed the truck after running about 5 minutes twice so I put an old one back in. I really don't want to pay $150 for an oem but it looks like I might have to. Has anyone had a good experience at all buying one off eBay or anywhere else for a good price? Does anyone have a known good sensor I could buy or know of a good place to buy a good Motocraft icp for a good price?
Thanks again guys

In my opinion stick to motorcraft for anything sensor related like that. Check with sunrise parts in the vendor section.

Consider yourself lucky. A lot of us will use only Ford/Motorcraft sensors only because the of the failure rate of aftermarket sensors.

What problems did you have that told you it was the ICP sensor? Got ICP problems myself.

Just a bad idle surge. The first eBay sensor cleared the idle up but it didn't last long. They're just not built like the oem. The last one I bought was junk right out of the box and actually killed the truck and I had to restart it. When it died again I threw it away and demanded a refund lol. Like they said above just spring for a Motorcraft or International and you can rule that out and not go through all the aggravation like me -.-
But I guess a good way to check is to just unplug the icp and if it idles better then the sensor is more then likely bad.

no. not correct. if you unplug the icp sensor while the truck is idling and there is no change then that means it is already in default and the sensor is bad. if you unplug it and there is a change in idle, while still running/idling then that means you have other issues.. when idle changes, it forces it to go to default and ups the icp from 500 to 750 psi at idle.. more psi results in a better idle..

Ok thanks I've never actually unplugged it while it was running. I may have to try that. I've always unplugged it and then started it.
I've got the original one that came in the truck when I bought it in now and it seems a lot better. There is still a little surge when its cold but I figure that's because I'm running 15w40 oil and it's still cold where I'm from. I may try some thinner oil when I change it next time. I can't currently do any wot runs right now because I put some stage 2 injectors in and I am still waiting on parts to get here to convert to e-fuel. But I think the sensor has been in long enough to get the air out of the system.

Ummmm......still in shop.....

I don't want to rush getting it out. Need to double check everything before I get it outside. Bit me in the ass last time.

until you drive it and get some wot runs on it, stop worrying about icp.

I unplugged it started the truck and plugged it in. and it's been running fine since. Thankfully autozone around me has a 24 hour one so I'll go there in a little while and try and get a new one

yeah, might as well leave it unplugged cuz that just puts it in default anyway..

When I left it unplugged it was slamming into gear it wouldn't shift smooth at all that's only reason I plugged it back in. Haven't had a problem with it since that but am still going to replace it to be safe
