Can a bad Exhaust Back Pressure sensor cause no boost and there fore no power?

Got a bad one, and hoping it will bring the power back to life.

Where is it, and how do you clean it. Think I'm having the same problem. Its been doing it on cold mornings, but seems to be lasting longer and worse here lately.

Heres the sensor

The tube runs from under it to the front of the passenger side exhaust manifold.

A crowfoot wrench makes it a little easier to get the upper nut off. Once removed from the truck spray with Brakleen or similar stuff. A 3' piece of 0.95 square weedeater line works good as a snake to run throung to pipe. Repeat spraying and reaming with the weedeater line about 4 times and it usually gets it pretty good. Before reinstalling pressurize the tube to check for any small cracks.

Now for part 2

The PCM is allowed to controll the EBPV up to an oil temp of 167*F when ambients are < 45*F. When the Temp needle on the dash goes to the normal position the oil temp is only around 130*F (as seen in AE) so it will continue to close under low speed (< ~45mph) low load conditions for a bit longer. A clogged/cracked tube will usually show a low backpressure and effect mileage and cause the PCM to interpret a Low Load condition even when heavy into the pedal. A bad sensor will cause the PCM to use a default value based on pedal position.

Ron the PCM wont controll yours so there is no problem, the PCM is seeing an average backpressure reading from the Eliminator. Only reason i dont hook it up as a brake is the 01 tranny dont want to have to see brian before I want to.
