Temps cold right now and hit 28 degrees. Started her up for a trip with wife. As i was walking back in house, it idled up to around 1000 to 1100 just like it's supposed to do. Sounded good and also warmed interior up quicker. Thanks guys. All is good.
Should take about a minute with no input to the throttle or brake for the high idle to spool up. Glad all is as it should. Without high idle you will be waiting for a long time for heat.
Then on page 4 it goes on to talk about the EBP valve. The conditions are:
IAT below 50 F
EOT below 158 F
So it does appear that fast idle and EBP operation are independent functions that may or may not occur during warm up processes.
Note: The EBP valve can close for warm up even while driving. Vehicle does not have to be parked for the valve to close.
After reading through this quick thread, I was curious to know if a clogged EBPV could effect high idle? I do notice when my 02 7.3 Ex kicks into high idle it does fluctuate a little bit sometimes.
After scanning for codes I have seen EBPV, as well as a EPBV circuit code the other day along with a check engine light, in this case I did accelerate kinda hard out of the driveway on a "semi-warm" truck... have not had time to clean the EPV/tube yet.
I was unaware the EBPV would close after putting the truck in gear and driving. My truck was not driven during cold weather last year so i had not experienced that till this year on a cold morning. Started it up and after a min or so the idle increased and valve closed like it done before.
I had the heater still hooked up to help warm the water while circulating the water. I let run for another 5 mins and then unpluged the heater and upon stepping on brake it idled back to normal speed..
I put in gear and backed down driveway, put in forward and started driving out the neighbor, which is slow speed, and happened to hear something that sorta startled me at first..
I quickly figured out the EBPV was closing a bit so i tried not to accelerate hard for a bit.. it went away in a couple miles.
