Good point cookie.
One trick with the EBP sensor, if you replace it or just to clean it up, blow air back through the line, all that soot in the small line can clog it up and affect the reading of the sensor. Blowing air back through it, in theory, will clean it out and just blow it back into the exhaust. The way I understand it from what the tranny guy at the Ford dealer told me, the EBP sensor is used to determine when the auto tranny shifts, it senses the load, or amount of back pressure, and will adjust your shifts accordingly.
