Keep your engine's exhaust and EGR pressure data accurate with the Standard Ignition Exhaust Backpressure Sensor / Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Pressure Sensor, part number VP18. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed V8-7.3L applications, including the 1995-1996 Ford E-350 Econoline, E-350 Econoline Club Wagon, F-250, F-350 and F-Super Duty, the 1994-1996 International 3800 and several other International models — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
This sensor measures pressure in the exhaust/EGR system and sends a corresponding electrical signal to the engine control module, which uses that reading to help manage exhaust gas recirculation and related engine functions. If a faulty pressure sensor is the cause of a stored trouble code or a driveability complaint, installing VP18 replaces it.
- Dual-name part: listed both as an Exhaust Backpressure Sensor and an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Pressure Sensor.
- Signals the ECM: converts system pressure into an electrical signal the engine control module reads.
- Direct-fit application: intended to install on the listed V8-7.3L Ford and International applications.
- One per vehicle: the listed applications use one sensor each.
Manufacturer part number VP18.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Standard Ignition VP18 sensor do?
It measures pressure in the exhaust/EGR system and sends an electrical signal to the engine control module, which uses that reading to help manage exhaust gas recirculation and related engine functions.
Which vehicles does VP18 fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed V8-7.3L applications, including 1995-1996 Ford E-350 Econoline, F-250, F-350, F-Super Duty and several International models. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
What are signs this sensor may need replacing?
A stored pressure-related trouble code, a check engine light, or driveability complaints can be signs. Diagnose the cause first, since these symptoms can have other sources; if the sensor is at fault, VP18 replaces it.
How many sensors do I need?
The listed applications use one sensor each, so a single VP18 covers the replacement for those vehicles.
Does this part fit both Ford and International trucks?
Yes. VP18 is cataloged for the listed V8-7.3L Ford and International applications. Confirm your vehicle against the "Vehicles it fits" section before ordering.
