Does anybody know when the exact perameters are on an EBPV opening and closing?


I need some solid proof for this thread...

OT Not Happy - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

 

oil temp must be below 170 degrees and air temp is below 45 degrees. throttle has nothing to do with it turning on or off, its based on teh reading from the ebp sensor. when the pressure gets high enough it kicks off, this is usually about 1/4 throttle at most but i cant recall the actual ebp reading limit. i am guessing but i would venture to say it is 30-35 psi. i could hook up the ngs to verify the actual max ebp reading before it kicks off

 

I'm not sure the exact parameters but I was just reading your other thread and I have to say that something is wrong with your truck if you can't take off without spinning. The ebpv should never stall the engine if it is running right. My truck is down on two injectors right now and I was driving on ice the last two days with an empty bed and didn't spin any unless I wanted to. Mine is about the same as yours. Stickshift and wide tires too. I think something else is causing your motor to bog bad if you have to give it that much gas. The EBPV should kick open whenever you give it gas to accelerate then slowly close once you steady out on the throttle.

Still, coming from a former cop, that cop was out of line but good luck proving it. He's a campus cop too. I won't even touch that one. Campus's have really weird rules. If I were you I wouldn't even bring it up. Just stick to the fact that the road was icy and leave it at that. Exhibition of speed tickets on an icy road is about the dumbest thing I ever heard of a cop writing a ticket for unless you were doing doughnuts in the intersection. I totaled my last truck on an icy road. Did three complete circles across an icy highway then slammed the barrier in the middle. I didn't get a ticket for that at all. That cop must have been having a bad day or something. The only time I ever wrote tickets on icy days was to people being really dangerous and caused an accident due to driving too fast. But only if it involved another vehicle.

 

When the truck is cold, it had just sat for a few hours in 5 degree weather, it gets cold. and it will try and stall out like that for about 30 seconds, and then after that, it wont do it. I literally started the truck and started to move it from one parking lot to another, going to let it warm up in the other lot... and when it happens it will close and before you know it, you don't have a running engine. after about a minute of warming up, I don't have this issue any more....

What sucks is that I maybe was only going 5-10 mph the whole time, no more than that, and was probably closer to 5 mph....


just going to have to see what court brings.

6* You must have been driving around when it was warm too. -17 last night with -40 wind chill. I was out in it last night and this morning and my truck wasnt spinning out either and youve seen the setup on mine, its very similar to yours so something is definately acting funny to cause that. Depending on when your court date is I'd be willing to go with you as an expert witness about diesels on ice/ traction etc. Ive got the background in it so thet court wont argue it. Call me if you need to.
