Did your truck run better after cleaning the ebp? How was it running before you cleaned it? Thanks for the help

 

I was actually getting codes for EBP prior to the cleaning.
I don't recall that the truck was running any different before or after the cleaning. I had read that the sensor affects how the turbo works but I do not know for sure.
Once cleaned, I stopped getting the codes.
It was easy so I figured it wouldn't hurt.

 

Awesome write up. Cleaning mine tomorrow. Mechanic wanted a decent amount to do this and u just saved me some cash and for that you get a huge thanks and a :thumb:
He also said that the ebp sensor gets cake and usually goes bad and u should replace that too so if u still get the code I would replace it. But thanks again

 

Glad I could contribute and help others. I really don't see any moving parts or anything that could go wrong with the sensor other than electrical connection.

After cleaning, I never got the code again.

 

I know this is an old thread, but, I just wanted to say thanks. This seems to have solved my low boost problem for now. And it cost me $0!

 

Just had a ton of work done to my truck and three days later exhaust tone changed low end boost sucked and it runs rough my guy said to try this crossing my fingers hope it works

 

Any luck?

Not it tube was completely clean but sprayed it out anyway and replaced the sensor now they are chasing injectors

 

great info

 

i know this is an older forum, but i need some help with my ebp tube. i took mine off today because im getting a p0299 code and truck has no power. After i took it off i am trying to screw the tube back onto the manifold but the nut just will not catch or it will get tight like its trying to and then just become loose again once i keep turning. Any ideas or tricks to help get this this back on??

 

You could use a thread chaser on one or both sides.

 

Well i cleaned the tube and replaced the EBP sensor today, still get a 1 reading at key on engine off and still have excessive turbo flutter, seems like a turbo cleaning and new unison ring may be in my future... Why cant it ever be the easy things... :lol2:

 

How difficult was it for everyone to remove the sensor? I am having a tough time breaking the sensor free from the tube.

 

It wasn't too bad removing the sensor from the tube. Put a 1" socket on the sensor and put a wrench (forgot what size) on the tube and apply enough pressure.

I replaced mine to no avail. I was reading 50-65 psi Key on Ignition Off. New sensor, clean tube, still the same readings.

I have read that the sensor doesn't actually do anything anymore, but I can't seem to verify it. Can anyone confirm? :dunno:

It should read atmospheric (14.7 psi at sea level) or relative (0 psi) depending on the PID you selected. You have a problem electrically or the gauge you are using does not read it correctly.

More than likely your truck does need it to operate correctly. My 07 absolutely needs it. Some 05s do not.

I'll have to chase the electrical problem. It will read out between 60 - 120 psi depending on conditions. I'm using the SCT X4 to read it.

Well damn. Guess I need to look at this more. I'll have to unplug it and see if it changes anything.

 

Issue with the EBP reading solved. The SCT X4 doesn't read it correctly. The Torque Pro app reads it normal. Unfortunately, this means that P0299 code is the Turbo and not the EBP sensor...

 

I suspected the X4, but I don't follow problems or fixes with that unit. There are a few other units (not SCT) that have problems as well.

 

I know it's a little late but thank you
