ebp valve?
i know last winter my truck didnt do this it would send off boost for maybe 3 miles. but now it will do it for 20 before it quits. i can lay into the fuel and get my boost back. but even when truck is warm it'll try and close off. could a clogged ebp sensor/tube cause this? i know my fuel milage has fell off to about 300 miles to a tank.

I believe the valve is use for warming purposes, if so then if it is clogged then yes it could be the problem. I am not versed in that area though so dont quote me. Someone will chime in that does know for sure.

I've read in past posts that yes, a clogged EPV tube or sensor WILL cause a loss in mileage. It's not hard to take it off and clean it all out. Just be real carefull taking the sensor off, it is easy to break it- don't ask me how I know.....
