Ebpv?
On my 97 7.3 the valve will not move. I was wondering what direction the arm moved to open it. I just want to make sure it isn't closed.

Thanks Vince

The valve is normally open and it takes oil pressure to close it.
Here's a picture of the EBPV in the open position.

If you unplug the wires from it it will automatically stay open.
