What will a bad EBP sensor do?
The exhaust back pressure (EBP) sensor going bad is a common problem in the 6.4 especially around 90-100K miles. It can be the sensor or a clogged tube going to the sensor. When this sensor starts malfunctioning, there is a tremendous loss of fuel economy.
What is the EBP sensor on a 7.3 Diesel?
7.3L Power Stroke Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor The EBPS (exhaust back pressure sensor) is used to monitor exhaust back pressure in cold weather during operation of the exhaust back pressure valve. In addition, the amount of back pressure in the exhaust system is one of many parameters used by the PCM.
What does the exhaust back pressure valve do?
The exhaust pressure control valve detects changes in the pressure of the exhaust gases to properly control the flow of exhaust gases through the EGR system. They are commonly found on vehicles equipped with turbo diesel engines, however they can also be found on the EGR system of gasoline engines as well.
What is the ICP sensor on a 7.3 Powerstroke?
The injector control pressure (ICP) sensor is on both the 7.3L and 6.0L Powerstroke engines. They use a high pressure oil system as a way to pressurize fuel in the injector body. ICP sensors on the Ford 7.3 diesel engines read the oil pressure in the HPOS.
Where is the exhaust pressure sensor located?
Usually, you’ll find the sensor bolted onto the side or bottom of the engine, or along the firewall in the back of the engine well.
Where is the map sensor on a 6.4 Powerstroke?
The MAP sensor is located near IAT2 on top of the right front corner of the intake manifold, and has a 0-5 Volt range, where low voltage (under 1 Volt) is low pressure, and high voltage indicates up to 50 PSI.
What is a EBPV delete?
This 7.3 EBPV delete kit contains the parts necessary to delete the EBPV valve or often referred to as the warm up valve from the turbo. The valve open during normal operation but in the coldest climates in will close periodically to aid in warming the engine faster.
Can lack of back pressure damage an engine?
Abstract: Exhaust system components such as mufflers and exhaust aftertreatment devices are a source of engine exhaust back pressure. Increased back pressure levels can cause increased emissions, increased fuel consumption, and can negatively affect engine performance.
What are symptoms of exhaust back pressure?
The symptoms of exhaust back pressure include reduced engine power, poor fuel economy, slipping transmission in the case of automatic cars, altered shift points, among others.
How do you check exhaust pressure sensor?
If you want to check the sensor while it’s still attached to your vehicle, use a multimeter and vacuum pump to test the pressure and voltage readings. Otherwise, you can remove the sensor and test the electrical resistance between the ports.
