I cleaned out my ebp sensor and tubing as maintenance while I was changing out the thermostat. Now I have very low boost and lagging with extreme exhaust temps (1600* average accelerating in town, higher when trying to get on the freeway.) According to the torque app my vgt cycle was stuck at 85%. I also was not able to read the ebp on my torque app after cleaning.
I disconnected the sensor and things seem to be back to normal, and I actually have more boost on the low end than I did before. I was having a problem with it not making boost down low or downshifting when I came to a hill and my exhaust temps would spike up to 1300*-1400* unless I manually downshifted. That seems to be a non issue now that I unplugged the sensor as well. Shifts between 5-6 smoother on hills with cruise control on and builds boost much faster while staying under 1,100*.
When I was researching I found that most 2003-2004 trucks were re-flashed to not use the ebp sensor, but obviously mine seems to be necessary. So...
*Can the EBP sensor be disabled through tuning?
*Will the truck run better with a properly functioning sensor, or should I just leave it unplugged and is this safe for the truck?
