never a straight answer help

a while back i inquired about my EBPV. it was going shut while driving at low rpms this winter. i could floor, it, and that was the only way to make it quit. it done it when it was warm, at low r's. would a switch make it warm up as fast w/o the risk of shutting while driving? now its unplugged

Check the sensor and pipe. 99% of the time the pipe is clogged and cannot sense the pressure to open valve.

I use mine every day. I start up the truck and it will cycle automatically then I flip my switch to keep it on. I had to replace the tube because the buildup was too much for pb blaster and bailing wire to clean up. They leak because they are usually out of adjustment and need more tension on the rod plunger. I use mine all the time for warming up the truck and love it when I pull anything.
