snw blue by you Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Has anyone ever seen an ICP sensor just come apart? I have an '04 that came in on Friday with a horendous oil leak [EXXON VALDEZ]. Upon insp I determined it came from the top of the engine and not a rear main. I told the customer not to drive it, but off he went.It was towed in over the weekend, now also w/ a MIL concern and crank no start. I looked at the ICP and the electronics package was missing, wierd, never seen it before. Just wondering if anyone else has come across this. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/drinkingdude.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Seen a few early build ICPs leaking real good... nothing on the late builds as yet... You don't have a DIYer on your hands??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMCTech Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I had an early 03 in that was the VALDEZ at the ICP, and like your's, the "guts" were literally hanging out of the sensor body, oil pouring forth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMCTech Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Hey! How did you get my sensor!!! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Well, somebody asked if these sensors leaking oil was common, I actually thought it wasn't a usual problem. Well I had another one today! Thats three in two weeks just out of the blue. This last one had a voltage/signal problem and I only discovered the oil leaking after removing it. Funny how the oil sometimes travels up the wire sometimes. And then you have the ones coming apart that work just fine. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMCTech Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Since we last spoke, I've had in 3 more ICP oil failures, as if on cue! Oil saturation into the conector, heat boot, and harness in every case. BTW, I fashioned a 1/16" socket that can easily fit into the cramped space without removing the heat shield; just take the socket and machine away a taper from the rear area...works like a charm. The biggest hassle I find is reconnecting the ICP connector. I have to remove the intake bolt to get my meathook hand in there, but still get a scar from the bolthole boss!

Funny how that works /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif I also made a socket tor the rear ICP sensor back when we were doing a lot of recalls. I know Snap-On sells a socket for the application but I'll be damned if am gonna pay 50 bucks for it. I went to Sears and got a deep. 1 1/16 socket and shortened it to the exact length of the sensor and use it with a 1/2" universal - cost me all of $5 If I remember correctly. Works great but you need to "modify" the heat shield by the left exhaust pipe to allow the tool to slip in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffEzack Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 I've replaced 2 ICP's this week also for the same problem. Early 03' builds, Werid!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
