Ebpv tube

[maddawg89]

Hey all. My 99 250 has been giving me some fits with this stupid part.

It would skip and jump like a gasser with faulty plug wires at 1300-1800 rpms (that would be cruise set 45-55). Many have suggested th tube is clogged.
I finally was able o pull the tube to clean it. Well it had a huge hole in it. Some suggested if that was the case to plug it off at the manifold and unplug the sensor at the turbo. Did hat and I still have the issue.... Any ideas? What do I do with the sensor on the tube?

Fix it right. That sensor, the exhaust back pressure sensor, is still used by the PCM for fueling. But, you can unplug the EBPV plug at the base of the turbo pedestal. That just tells the actuator to engage or disengage.

^^^ what he said. Also, try cleaning the connection at the gas pedal...TPS sensor.

Ok, so new tube. I'll have to contact AutoFair and see what he has lol

I have pretty bad compressor surge though. Could that be the problem? I'm planning on getting a wicked wheel. The previous owner ran a K&N and put one one it too.... Stupid move......
