Back Pressure Sensor
I have a 2000 F-350 Power Stroke with only 19000 miles on the truck and the Back Pressure Sensor has been an issue with this truck as far as getting power out of the truck.
Has anyone else have had or having the same issue with theres?

Try cleaning out the backpressure sensr tube and the sensor itself. The tube connects to front of the right side exhaust manifold. The EBP sensor is threaded in to the other end of the tube.

Some of us do not have a laptop plugged into our trucks all the time to read codes every day. So we have to really on common sense. Codes are not always the answer to every thing.

Just realized this is posted to the 94-97 forum....I'll move it up to 99-03 now.
Do you have an EGT gauge installed on the truck? If you do you can get a backpressure sensor eliminator kit from one of our forum sponsors and be done with that problem. If you do not have the gauge you can still run the sensor eliminator if you also disable the backpressure valve.

According to service manual, unplugging it will disable it anyways. Will just take longer to warm up while idiling. PCM is supposed to disable entire backpressure system if not at low speed or already warmed up. A new sensor from internaional cost me 45$ and 5 minutes to install. Beats being without the truck waiting on the garage. Mine was unplugged for 6 months before that and backpressure valve didn't close at all while warming up.
"An open or short in the Exhaust Back-Pressure sensor wiring will result in a low out of range voltage at the PCM, and the PCM will disable Exhaust Back-Pressure control."

If you have a fine ear you don't need gauges. But anyways the sensor is shot once again. And the shop has one coming for later in the week.

Let us know if that fixes it. With today's modern designs the best tool is still the one between your ears, but sometimes it needs a lot of help with the right information on what is really going on with the motor. That's where the scanners come in real handy.

I couldn't do without it at work. I would have to buy a whole basket full of parts and shotgun parts at the car with the check engine light on until the light goes out. LOL.
Check for codes, verify the malfunction, get the correct part and install: done.
