Cool flooding out

hey guys n gals im new to this so bare with me i have a 97 7.3 with 489000 on it latley when i start it i can run the rpms to 1500 and it will drop on its own to@ 1000 and it sounds like its flooding its self out the shop says turbo boost sensor does this sound like the symptoms of that sensor? i just replaced the fuel pump map sensor fuel filter cam sensor and chaned the oil. my fuel mileage is real bad (like 90 miles half a tank)keep in mind its been pretty cold up here and the flooding its self out seems to be on the first start of the day after it runs and warms up it dont seem to do it im up in arms any feed back would be great! also were is the screen to clean when changing the fuel filter??? thanks again

Welcome to FTE

489,000 miles? Km?

It sounds like you EBPV is hanging. You can disconnect it and forget about it.
Look here:

The connector is under the turbo on the driverside.

Take a look here for info on the FPR screen

Very impressive, almost a half million miles. Was there any major work done to the engine?
