What is the IPR on a 7.3 PowerStroke?

Product Description. The IPR Valve on your Powerstroke is responsible for controlling the pressure in the high-pressure oil system which in turn operates the fuel injectors. The PCM varies ICP pressure (through adjusting the IPR duty cycle) as the primary means of controlling engine power output.

Where is the ICP on a 7.3 PowerStroke?

7.3L PowerStroke ICP Replacement Injector control pressure sensors are located on the driver side of the Ford 7.3. They’re towards the front of the engine right around the HPOP. You can also use the Ford or International replacement parts.

What does high to low side open mean?

“high to low side open” or “circuit” codes found after the injector buzz test indicate that the signal from the IDM is not reaching the injector solenoid. Check UVC wiring (connecting to injector solenoid), external wiring to gasket pass-through harness at valve cover, and/or replace IDM.

What would cause 7.3 Powerstroke to misfire?

7.3 Powerstroke Misfire Common symptoms can range from a worn-out spark plug to a bad sensor to stiction in your injectors. Regardless of the specific cause, it’s vital to immediately diagnose and repair the problem to prevent damage to other engine components.

What does a bad IPR valve do?

A key indicator of a bad IPR valve is low injection pressure. Symptoms of a bad 7.3 Powerstroke IPR can range from running very rough to a no start situation. The symptoms can sometimes feel like you have multiple bad injectors, among other things. You can easily and inexpensively resolve this problem.

What is high side injector?

Highside System Injector is used for introducing any liquid into the low side of a charged hermetic system. Entirely reusable. Constructed of rugged aluminum for long life. Designed for use with any standard manifold gauge and requires no extra valves or fittings.

What is injector cackle?

Some vehicles may experience a misfire or “cackle.” The injectors in the 7.3L diesel run off of the high-pressure engine oil pump. The number 8 injector is the farthest away from the oil pump, causing a filling problem, which may result in a misfire.
