Some run with it capped off, not unplugged or removed...

The main function of the EBPS is to control the EBPV during cold weather. You could try cleaning the tube and sensor, but I wouldn't look for any miraculous fuel mileage gains.

Mine saw now change in mpg with a bad sensor unplugged vs a new one installed and hooked up.

I dont know about fuel mileage improvement,because I cleaned it right after purchased.but it sure made a difference in driveability,much more power on take off from dead stop.

I just replaced my tube and sensor.
there was no cleaning it to make it better. now I dont have to worry about that for a looooong time.

have pics, but not loaded to Photobucket at this time.

tube is cheap. sensor is $90. but now I am done is the way I look at it.

The EBPS is not just for controlling the EBPV.

EBP is one of the parameters used by the PCM in fueling. A properly working EBPS is good for mileage and drivability.
