95 f250 ebpv problem?

[rws]

I have a 95 f250 and i think the ebpv is acting up. While it is high idling it will sound like a big rig jake braking. and when i'm driving down the road it feels like its coming on and robbing me of power. I think i have it disconnected (2 wire connecter at the front and slightly to the driver's side) is this the right connector? will it hurt my engine?

plug for mine was located right under the compressor side of the turbo...and has been unplugged for years...it would be fine to unplug it

Thanks for the info. the reason i am asking is because when i disconnect the plug it seems to run a bit different. More power but it seems to have more vibration at an idle a bit of a miss. Could i be looking at a boost sensor or is the ebpv the only connector there?

to my knowledge the EBPV is the only plug on the turbo...

Is the sensor you connected on the front of the motor and in the driver side head?

I may be wrong, but it kind of sounds like you unplugged the ICP?

That is possible, it was dark while i was looking at it i assumed the wire that was going to the plug went to the main harness i'll check it out after work thanks

The one that should be unplugged mounts right to the turbo...should be somewhat underneath the compressor housing...i can go take a pic if you need one

That would be greatly appreciated. Like i said i am pretty sure i had the right one but it's possible i was wrong. I just don't want to screw something up and have to buy a new engine

Thanks looks like i managed to get the right connector. Maybe its staying on more than i thought and when i disconnect it it is making more difference than i thought it would
