Basicly, the IAT is used for high idle and EBPV operation. This is taken from my Ford dvd manual: "The IAT signal provides air temperature information to the PCM. The PCM uses the air temperature information to operate the Exhaust Back-Pressure (EBP) system and to determine the cold idle setpoint. During long idle periods at cold ambient temperatures, the setpoint will increase engine rpm. "
Doesn't really affect mileage per say.

if its messed up though couldnt it be keeping my ebpv closed?? and making my engine work harder??? i did notice it seems like its closed alot longer than my dads 99.5 powerstroke...and my iwarm up idle is really irratic..my question was could this be holding it closed when it shouldnt be closed..??

does your truck sound like the EBPV is closed? i can hear mine when it closes.

Edit: you can also unplug the EBPV on your turbo pedistal and see if that helps, just a thought. also a new sensor is less than 20 bucks.

The spring in the pedestal will keep it open, if not broken. I would try either method and see what happens.
EBPS sensor should be detecting a high backpressure and open the EBPV, even with a bad IAT.

That's fairly typical EBPV operation.

I think when they get gunked up with carbon they can't seal effectively, which is why they do the on/off, on/off, on/off bit. That on/off routine is why I unplugged mine right after I bought it.
