Ford V10

Has anyone had to replace the throttle body on a V10? And if so what year was your unit & the amount of miles..

haste maker,

Thanks for letting us know.

Update on my throttle body problem, replaced it & everything runs like or better than before, I seem to have more power now & I know I am getting better gas mileage...thanks for all the reply's.

2007 year

That means your chassis is probably a 2006. Is there an engine code that shows up like a PO505, PO506 or another code that indicates an idle issue? You say it only idles, if you step on the gas will it stall?

No it didn't stall when I stepped on the gas..don't know about those codes, I do know it does have the wired throttle body.

Haste,
Look at things carefully, I would suspect the throttle position sensor. It is on the side of the throttle body and they have been know to fail.

It has been a LONG TIME since I looked at one, but IIRC, on electronic throttle bodies there are 2 sensors (or a dual sensor). One for the microprocessor that runs the throttle motor and one for the ECM.

Nope !

IAC went away when electronic throttle control came in. Also eliminated the cruise control actuator. Eliminating those 2 components, plus better fuel economy and emission controls justified the cost.

It will only idle & the code reads throttle body stuck.

I would check the senor first as Matt suggested and then spray some throttle body cleaner like CRC and see if that fixes the problem. There is also an IAC valve (air idle control valve) that sometimes sticks that can be cleaned also.

1999 and the only issue was Coil on plugs and a mouse family.

130 thousand miles--no problems with throttle body. One mass flow air sensor. Unit is a 2004.
