During injector test getting a P1218 CID High code. During another KOEO I got P0470 Exhaust Pressure Sensor and the P1218 CID High code again, any ideas?

Problem is low power first 15 minutes, then you can hear turbo kick in and all is good?

When warm we had ICP 581.49 & ICP duty cycle 12.89. Going to check it out when problem is presenting itself tomorrow morning.

1996 F-350

 

No power when its cold, the ebpv still hooked up? If so, that is normal, you can unplug it under the turbo on the drivers side. It helps to warm up the motor. 2 wire plug.

 

Yes, it is still hooked up. Should we try to unplug it and see if it does the same thing?

 

Yes Mike, unplug it and leave it unplugged.

 

Thank you we will try it today. Any idea on those test codes? It only throws them during tests. It is not throwing them in the regular area of AE.

 

Is this her EBPV two wire plug your talking about?

Thanks for all the help!

 

Is this her block heater wire minus the plug?

Thanks again!

 

You'd know better by following the wire back to the element, but that's most likely it. Three conductors, one in a green insulator. Remember, this is AC so typical AC wiring color codes apply - black = hot, white = neutral, green = ground.

 

I put a male plug on it. The two side conductors were not white and black, just black. Green ground.

Thanks for the help!

 

Checked heater core. It is not shorted to ground, or open, so it must be good. Reads just over 16 ohms. Sound right?

 

A little on the high side, should be 14 ohms. But that could be meter error. A device like this - is handy for telling you just how much power the heater is drawing.

 

Thanks. It works. No fire or explosion. My meter reads 1.5 ohms with leads shorted, so 14 ohms is about right. Do you know if the picture of the plug into the turbo I showed is the EPBV plug?

Thanks again!

 

Yes, that looks like the wire to unplug.

 

Thank you VERY much Glenn! I really appreciate your quick response...

 

Ran much better with the EBPV plug removed and the block heater on for a couple hours.

Thanks so much!
