DP install. Now no power!!

[86ford69jw]

Installed a 3in DP today and now truck won't free rev over 250" and has no power on the road. Floor it any speed and it very slowly builds speed. Floor it at 55-60 and it down shifts and goes no where?! It was fine this morning. Ran 65-70 mph. What to do fellas??

Found sand in fuel bowl. Cleaned it and it's better

i would think that you will encounter this again.
if indeed it was sand in the fuel bowl, more than likely its in more places than you can get.
this does sound like a stuck EBPV. maybe you rattled it loose.
let us know if it happens again!

Gunna buy two fuel filters tomm. And go from there. On the way home it was like a new truck. Only mods are slip in K&N and down pipe with gutted cat cut off at muffler.

the EBPV butterfly is directly behind your DP

I know. It was open when I put it on. Then lost power and wouldn't go over 2500 and smoked like crazy. Runs good now but I think there is some exhaust leaks to look in to. While revving there was smoke everywhere
