EBP readings

Question I have been troubleshooting a intermittent p0299 code. I setup my scanguage and koeo I am reading 14.3 on Map and EBP and BMP. When I start the truck I get EBP of 22-23 Map goes to 15 and BMP is still 14.3

Does this indicate a bad EBP or just a clogged pipe? I just blew it out with a air blower. Also cat is deleted but still has stock muffler. Any thoughts?

Did you also clean the sensor? The end of the sensor itself can plug up.

yes best I could. I hit the pipe with a airblower and it sounded ok. I read that at idle it should be around 16. Mine was 22 on a cold start.

Get rid of your muffler. Cat is all you need to pass inspection

Cat is already gone. Do the mufflers on these ever get full of soot and cause higher back pressure?

EBP at idle should be around 3-4, not 22.

Are you sure it should be 3-4 at idle? I see a lot getting 16 at idle and that's what I get with a clean tube, new sensor, and straight pipe exhaust. Not saying you're wrong, just questioning my numbers.

14 psi is atmospheric pressure. so 22 - 14 is actual pressure. 8 psi at idle. clean the sensor and check the VGT at idle. Is it going to 15% at all?

Checked VGT tonight and mine is running 61 or 62 at cold start. Tonight the EBP was running 18-19. Ill check to see what runs when it warms up tomorrow.

Sorry, I should have explained better. Like 78fordman said.....
BMP/BAR, MAP and EBP all should be around 14.7, atmospherc pressure at sea
level. If your higher up, the number will change and does change with the weather. A storm coming could lower it, high clear skys make it go up.. but for the most part, 14.7 is about right.

At idle EBP should be about 3-4 above BAR/BMP or around 17-18-19. I've programmed my scan gauge and adjusted everything to 0, why my EBP reads 3-4 at idle.

Not sure if just air blown thru the tube will clear the build-up, I used a piece of weed whacker line and shoved it through while twisting the line.

We get a little mix up on these numbers with a ScanGauge (and others) sometimes because there are BAR gauges with readings in Kpa, PSI, and in/hg.
