Finally figured out my EBPV issue.
My brother was able to help me out today. We removed the serpentine from the alternator and AC compressor in order to make more room. Then I got some PB Blaster onto the nut and my brother was able to get the nut off. Except when he got the nut off half of the tube came with it! Turns out the tube going to my EBPS was broken in half! And it was jam packed with soot. I put the truck away without the sensor installed and it didn't have any issues like it had before.
Is just deleting this stupid thing an option? Will that throw any codes?

will store a code but wont throw a light, the ebp sensor does absolutly nothing on a 7.3 other then work the backpressure valve. the only exception to this rule is if you are running a dp-tuner. i have been told that jody uses that pid for something. but as far as ford's programming, the ebp will effect nothing

You took off the EBPS the EBPV is bolted to the turbine, if you unhook the EBPS than the EBPV will not work. On my truck i have a power elbow on the turbine no EBPV get rid of that junk. Than you go to Autozone and get Painless wiring EBPS delete and plug up to the wire you unhooked from EBPS 38$. This way you don't ever have to clean that tube or buy a sensor. The only code is a soft code P0475 which is were the EBPV is unpluged and you can get a dummie plug for that to if you want.
