EBPV question
Hey guys, I have a 2000 PSD with about 160,000 miles on it. Lately the EBPV is staying closed alot longer than it should (20 min sometimes) or coming on when it shouldn't (truck up to temp driving around) it is very frustrating as obviously with the valve closed there is no boost and no power. I had it into 2 shops and neither could tell me why. I simply unpluged it and all is well. However, I would really like to use it as an exhaust brake, but since it is unhook because it is not operating properly I can't just buy an aftermarket wiring harness and plug it in. I would like to run it off a 3 postion toggle switch like I see many of the after market kits do.
So I need to know whether EBPV work as follows: apply 12V+ to the connector right at the valve and it closes, unhook the 12V and it opens??? or is it more complex than that? does it require a modified voltage like some injection sensors do (5Volts reference) or something???
Any info would be great, thanks in advance.

The following was posted by DZL JIM and your problems certainly mirror mine.
There is a sensor located just behind the high pressure oil pump, more towards the passenger side, with a plug on the top. It is fed pressure through a tube (brake line type thingy) from a hole in the pass. side exhaust manifold. If you are annoyed by it you can simply unplug the valves electrical connection, a 2 prong weatherpack located near the base of the turbo on the driver's side.
Or you can take the tube off and clean it out.
Or you can remove the valve, rip it's guts out, seal up the holes and put it back on.
Or you could wire a switch to the valve and operate it manually.
Or you could gut it, cap the manifold, toss the tube and plug the connection into a "dongle" available from SP diesel.
Sorry, did you want options?

My EBPV drove me nuts. My truck is set up for hot weather. The cold air just wouldn't let the engine warm up so I just unplugged it. I have an exaust brake on mine but I'm not using it right now for towing. The cold sticks around here for a short time but I will reconnect it when it starts warming up. I read a great article on wet stacking and the EBPV is supposed to help prevent it. (Extended Idle) A switch would be a convenient way to go to disable it, but I just unplugged it.
