dissabling the ebpv

hey guys, since i did the muffler delete, when the ebpv engages in the morning while idleing, it sounds like a 747 warming up, so i want to dissable it for the summer, so is all i have to do is just unplug the two wire clip to stop it from engaging?

Or wait for the low temps to get above 45 or so. You can unplug the sensor on the front of the motor and the PCM will disable the EBPV system.

i love the sound that it makes when the rpms jump up to about 1200, but at 6 AM, i kinda dont want to bother anyone that is still sleeping, so they are lucky until next winter cause i will plug the sensor back in.

i like the look everyone has when the thing is screamin away and people are walking by wondering what the hell is wrong with that truck, haha

thanks, i will unplug the ebpv valve at the pedistal later, it raining out right now

When I first put my straightpipe on it would go to high-idle and people would look and almost smile when it was starting to rev on its on, then the valve would go shut and they would want to cover their ears. I just unplugged mine at the pedastal.

If you unplug the air temperature sensor on the air filter box that will disable the high idle along with the EBPV closing. It will run as if it's fully warmed up all the time. No high idle and no hissing even with a cold engine on a cold day.
If you want to retain the high idle but get rid of the valve closing then unplug the pedastal.

I don;t know if it is because mine is calibrated for the Republik of Kalifornia or what but I do see it when they hook up the Ford scanner. In any case, if I take that plug off, it will trip an SES light.

I was thinking about doing the muffler delete myself, but I did not think of the ebpv. If this were to be disconnected year round, would it be hard on the engine? (wet stacking?) It does get cold here (-20F for little while last winter), but I plug my truck in every night in the winter.

AFAIK, if you take out the EBPV, it would be similar to having a van turbo pedestal. Those take longer to get heated up.

I have a van turbo........connected to a 03 van and the funny thing is the van heats a very fast when compared to the truck. My theory is the van warms up faster because it is not intercooled, but what do I know?

That theory sounds decent. IIRC, I talked to someone who had removed the EBPV with the van turbo and he said it took longer to get the truck warm.

I have the van turbo and I don't notice any more time to warm the truck up over normal. It's been down as low as 10 degrees since I put it in and no issues.....
