Low Idle Stability (ICP Pressure)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 16 other vehicles, including the 1996 Ford RV Cutaway, 1996 Ford Pickup, 1996 Ford F-Super Duty, 1996 Ford Econoline, and 1996 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Using scan tester, access ICP PID from PID/DATA monitor menu. Start engine and allow it to idle.
- ICP reading should be 550-700 psi (3792-4826 kPa). If PID reading is not 550-700 (3792-4826 kPa), or idle does not stabilize, disconnect ICP sensor. Sensor is located at top left side of engine.
- If idle is now stabilized, fault is in ICP sensor circuit. Perform CIRCUIT TEST Z in TESTS W/CODES - 7.3L DIESEL article. If idle still does not stabilize, change Injection Pressure Regulator (IPR) and retest.
