Ok just checked the ebpv pipe and it was just like new inside. I was rootin around the engine bay checkin everything over and noticed a slight oil leak. I think it was my KCM cross over line. I tightened the fittings. Its the only thing that was wet with oil besides the engine valley. I also noticed a wire plug that was just hangin in the engine valley. Its a plug in with two wires on it. I found where it plugged in and hooked it back up. It was directly under the turbo and I assume it went to the turbo pedestal? It had a weird metal bail clip to hold it in place. Noticed there was also another wire just like it towards the front of the engine in the valley with the same metal bail clip. Whats that?
The connector you describe, under the turbo sounds like the EBPV (exhaust back pressure valve) connection plug.
Plugged in, during a Cold start.. it restricts air from the turbo.. making for a faster warm up (EPA nonsense). Makes yer engine Gutless [to drive] until it warms up.
That's probably what you are hearing... in your last Post.. after you plugged it back in.
Some guyz unplug it. Sounds like that's what the PO did ? Maybe ?
(They've been known to stick closed.. after some time & mileage)
The other connector ? Not Sure. Look around for it's mate, in a reachable length, in the area where you found it ?
