ICP sensor replacement- easy? special tools?
I may have an icp sensor problem. The truck is at a different location than where I am so I would like to do some internet homework to see how hard this will be to change. Does it just unscrew from the driver's side head? Do I need any special tools? Odd ball socket size? Does the wiring just pull of off the sensor?
My truck had a slight hiccup the other day, no codes, acted as if I switched from a chipped setting and then to stock and then back again. I have a long trip coming up and want to carry an extra sensor. Thanks.

Easiest one to change. No special tools. Wire just unplugs.
Common problem with these are when you unplug the wire connector and you see oil. in the connector.. Another is when the truck won't start and unplugging it will allow you to start.. But it will only idle once it is unplugged. And then you would call is scrap.
What are you symptoms?
Driver side head right behind the alternator. Right out in the open.

Symptoms are:
I was driving very slow and I heard an increase in injector sound, as if I switched to the chipped setting and then back and forth. Also, intermittently under very light throttle, the same sound occured and the truck mildly hesitated. I believe it only happened in a chip setting and it very intermittent. I drove it around the next day and it was flawless. I noticed in the chipped setting, the idle dropped from 700 to 665 or so and then right back up. Under more aggressive acceleration, it was flawless. What do you think?

Does it just unscrew from the driver's side head? Yep!
Do I need any special tools? Nope. Just a wrench!
Odd ball socket size? No sockets, open-ended wrench. There are a few different sizes since Ford changed the design at some point, can't tell you exactly what size.
Does the wiring just pull of off the sensor? Simple push-style clip like most sensors on these trucks.

Gotya, understandable, can't beat insurance. Why I asked is a fellow member and friend here KHusp had a simular problem and my Superchips code reader picked up his bad ICP, thru a code.

I just swapped mine out but didn't have a crowsfoot to remove the old one. I just used a plumber's basin wrench and popped it right out. Here's a pic of the old and new side by side as well as the new one installed. I had to use the basin wrench to install the new one too so the nut's a little scarred.
