The EBP Valve and the EBP sensor are completely seperate items. The sensor is giving engine back pressure signals to the PCM.
The Exhaust Back Pressure Valve closes in the turbo exhaust while the truck is in startup to give more back pressure and therefore more load to the engine to help it warm up quicker. The two items sound alike but are VERY DIFFERENT from each other.
Yes it can still improve MPG's if you clean the tube and maybe restore some power via the signal to the turbo from the PCM.

my truck never has much problems so i have no reason to do much reading on here hahaha
Update, it turns out it was my PCM on it's way out. changed it and it's been fine ever since.
What did that cost and where did you get it from if you don't mind telling us??
