ebps and tube
i have a late 99 f350 with the 7.3 4x4 and i just took a scan tool to it and got p0470 exhaust pressure system somthing
i took the ebps and tube off to clean it. i found a rusting crack going halfway around the tube.
i just want to know if this is contributing to my poor fuel economy(12-15) when its usualy 18-22. and also if i can duck tape the hole for a couple of days untill i can get a tube and maybe a sensor?
i have to drive it everyday but only for 10 minutes at a time.
thanks for the help

You can also take some JB WELD and fix the leak on the tube.

Rather than duct tape use some of the silver metalic tape. It will last longer.

There is a sensor right in front if the engine that plugs straight down. The tube is bolted right under that and swings around to the front of the passenger side exhaust manifold. 9/16 to hold the mount fitting and a 5/8 to remove the pipe. There is a write up around here with pictures. Do a search and it will pop up. A Curtis
