Did you clean the EBP sensor and tubes? This was my problem. My fuel mileage is 18.44 now.


Here is what I found and I cleaned out all the sut. This was an easy task.

Have you checked the compression? A miss at idle, then clearing up if you give it throttle doesn't sound good.

I'm still wondering if he has the 10k mod, and if the problems showed up after the injector o-rings, or is this is the problem he's been chasing. Here's a little more info about his truck taken from a thread in the super duty section.
