Review on Throttle Assembly Expedition Lincoln 8L3Z9E926A by Sean Copeland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

PB BLAST THE TORX BOLT HOLDING IT AND USE THE RAG TO REMOVE THEM.

2004 F150 4.6L The truck went into emergency mode, does not respond to the accelerator pedal, runs rough and finally does not start. Let me clear saved codes you need to do after installing this part. Several codes have been linked to throttle position and are similar. There are many forums as these Fords have a very unreliable throttle body. lots of stories about people 'idling' on the freeway and so on. I checked the continuity of the electric motor in the throttle body that controls the throttle. I had an open circuit so I ordered this part. My problem was fixed immediately. Reset my codes and drove the truck fairly lightly for about a week to allow the computer to relearn the gas pedal. Before buying I tried going to the junkyard and only found 5.4 with throttle body, they are mounted vertically on the engine and the bolts are different so don't think they will fit on the 4.6L. For the price it was the best I found and it worked many months later. I actually noticed the throttle response improve afterwards, so the broken throttle body was showing signs of wear, but I wasn't even expecting that.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Problem
