Engine Running Issue - Repaired

[madwookie]

Got my truck out of the shop and I thought I would pass this along just in case anyone else has this running problem.......The EBP (exhaust back pressure) sensor tube was carboned up. The fuel mileage went from 10.5 to 14.0 mpg at 70mph (verified on paper). It might be worth doing this at every 30k as a preventitive maintenance. I love these trucks!

Good info. Where is the EBP? Is this something we can look at and clean ourselves?

[madwookie]

I have no idea where the tube is located. I will see if I can find out on my next service.

On my 97 it is on the front of the engine by the hpop and leads to the pass side of the engine. The sensor sits on top of the line.

Yup thats where it is on my 01. they are very prone for clogging up. wish i got that kind of milage gain after cleaning mine out and replacing sensor.

If you unplug your ebpv you don`t have to worry about that ebp tube and sensor anymore I`m told but don`t know for sure. Ford recommends cleaning every 60000 but I`m with you at 30000
