I've actually had pretty good luck with Ford trucks but I'm going through this right now and am here to tell you this guy really knows what he's talking about

I changed mine last year and don't remember having to remove the while throttle body. Just a few screws and the coolant line and changed it. Easy peasy. It took all of 25 minutes if I remember correctly.

You got a subscriber out of me. Like Knute said below, watching a repair video, where the person teaching the audience has a sense of humor, is FAR better than the monotone videos that I usually find. I am a first time Ford owner. Bought a full size 88 Bronco, but it has a motor from a 95 f 150...so its a frankentruck. I've only ever worked on Chevs my whole life....so you takin stabs at how they mount their shit in the dumbest ways, made my fukkin night! Thanks for the video! Can't wait to check your other ones out.

I like your witty banter & commentating while showing/teaching the how to aspect of repairs! Comedic repair videos are always better than the monotonous ones! Who says learning can't be entertaining?! I guess that's why most people hate school, but if the classes were as entertaining then people might be more inclined to go! Keep it up, RocknRoll!

THIS VIDEO HELPED ME FIX MY VAN!!!!!! I have a new to me 1995 E-150 conversion van with 95k miles in really really nice shape and we'll maintained by a previous owner. It ran perfect for a year until December 27th 2014. Then had issues starting. I replaced the fuel filter, not the solution. I bought the manual, more tools, and found KZread and Budget Boosting. I am a handy person and an engineer by degree and trade new to fixing cars and Matt inspired in me the confidence to fix it myself. The first symptom was inability to start and keep the engine moving it took 40 plus minutes and near constant jumping to start a dozen different times randomly over a month. Sometimes started perfect. Once started it stayed started. The starter would turn, but the engine would not stay kicked over. I was so close to starting so many times. I knew not to stay on the ignition and knew not to pump the gas, but I did it anyway and was so close to starting so many times. I replaced two starters in the process of multiple starts - found that in another KZread video. Changed the ignition coil and idle air control, not the right fix, but helped. I changed the belt another video and belt tensioner pulley, that was a HUGE help to settle movement and noise in the engine, but still idled high and terrible starting if at all. I tried a can of sea foam, then the van would idle at about 3000 rpm, but still had the terrible no start condition at random times. My van would drive at 35 mph down the road without the accelerator being pushed. When I replaced the throttle position sensor using Matt's video it did the trick. Done no issues and very very strong engine again. 5 months later I had the no start issue, I replaced the TPS under warranty and runs great again. I think there is slop between the TPS slot and the pin on the throttle body so it slipped out of position. This time I was more careful to be sure I had better alignment then tightened the TPS down. I learned what a tune up is and replaced the plugs, wires, cap and rotor, dropped the trans mission pan, changed the trans fluid and all because I could now. Thank you for giving me the know-how and confidence! I was thrown back and sad to hear about your fall and am VERY glad to see you on your feet! Your way of explaining is very thorough and fun. Keep up the good work! Glad to be following you

Vegan Shemp scope out the throttle body on the 5.0, I would assume it's the same. The Haynes manual is your friend.

I love it when I have a chance to learn something new, only this time I get to educate. My project is a 1995 Ford F53 Fleetwood Adventurer Vision 38 foot. OK with all the number out of the way. A couple more things to throw at you, this is a gasser, with the 460 and no cats since they were not required on a heavy duty frame. OK now for the education part. I have been having a problem with acceleration after about the 30 minutes in the wonderful Florida sun. Pull over cool 5 minutes and she is back off to the races. Long story short I hooked up my OBD1 yes they were still using that and it gave me a signal 31 which is a couple of things. But after watching your video I decided if I was going to go in that far I might as well go all the way. Since I have only had the coach a month and only had to dog house up one (today) I thought I have better look at how it is assembled because if it was the same in your video I am to old to be crawling around in the dog house. Well come to find out my 7.5L 460 is mounted the standard way side by side so all I am going to have to do is reach in and change the sensor. then on to the EGR valve and the computer says I will be on the road again. For anyone that has the same coach as I do there is a RECALL for the O2 sensor. FORD said for years they could not get the parts to replace the sensor. BS! when I got the coach the rv center told me about the sensor and how no one has been able to fix the min 24 years since the FORD RECALL! Well they can now IF you take it to a FORD dealer that repairs the coaches, The cost ZERO unless there has been some damage caused by the censor (usually it is the burnt wire going to the O2 censor. So that is my class for today. What we learned here is that you give great instructions for the repair BUT check your engine first - unless you have $700 in 2023 dollars to waste

Update on my F150 91 5.0 you can read my other comments for my problem...turned out to be the fuel pump relay... It has a low pressure and high pressure on it and the high side was bad 16.99 and I'm going strong...not the fuel pump but relay..so if you have the same thing I was going thru try it before you do alot of unnecessary work and money...hope this helps you keep on the road..

Thankfully, my 1990 Ford Bronco II has a horizontal mounted throttle body and accessing the TPS is very easy. It's located at 9 o'clock position opposite side of the throttle.

I used your video to remove the TPS as well, and I encountered the red thread lock, and also had to buy an extractor, and was successful. It helps to cuss Ford for using thread lock, those cheating bastards. One thing I did was to go to ACE hardware and bought two new screws with hex heads, I wasn't about to reuse the same dumb ass Phillips screws knowing that lock tight was still on the threads and down the hole. Great video.

yes, the thread locked screws that round when using a screw driver. Garbage design where 6 point bolt heads would have done the job better. I had gone through the screw rounding many times before so I used that impact driver right from the start.

you do know you can just take the bolt out of the throttle body disconnect the throttle line and it comes right out you can access the throttle position sensor really easy you don't have to take all that off it takes me like 5 minutes to change one if that

Great stuff Matt! Those hose clamps you lament are actually very easy to release. After taking them off for almost 40 years in my radiator repair shop, I discovered that if, after you remove or loosen the screw, you can take your screwdriver or nut driver and give the clamp a sharp push or hit on the crown. The crown moves down to the clamp releasing the clamp. You have to hit it squarely of it may collapse to the left or right. A squirt of WD-40 in advance can help with a rusted clamp.

Good video!! I had a heck of a time trying to get the TPS off my 1990 F-150 4.9. I guess mine was fine because after taking it off to clean it, as I placed it back, the check engine light come out and the idle is 100 rpm's, so I wonder what position to place it is 6 o'clock or 9. Thanks

I have a ford f-250 with a 5.8 L engine which is starting to act up. I only use it in the summer months, but it's starting to stall out when I push on the gas after warming it up a bit. When I checked the codes I get a code 11 along with code 63 and 10. It looks like the TPS may need replacing. thanks for posting your video, as I would have no clue how to go about this.

Thanks so much very helpful do have any transmission tune up, video?

Thanks for the info, excellent videos

Thanks great job explaining

I wish you would have shown how to put it back on. I’m a noob and need step by step. Lots of tape and pens. Lol. My two “86 broncos need attention. 👍😊

Had problem with my 88 F150, 302 revving up and down on the idle. After some monkeying around I disconnected the throttle position sensor and the idle air control. Of course the motor won't idle. But I was able to loosen the idle screw, turn it out so the motor would idle. Only problem is in the morning, startup I have to keep the motor running for a few minutes for warm up, after that the truck runs fine once warmed up. Shows these frigin sensors are not really required. So all that would be nice to have is some sort of choke setup for cold starts. But I will get a new TPS soon.

AFAIK the coolant lines are just for anti icing in the winter and could probably just be looped together if the truck won't be in a below freezing place.

Thanks for a good video and fun remarks.

Very good work as allways

Great video! I replaced the original TPS on my 95 F150 5.8 today. I also had to use my impact to get the screws out so I replaced them with hex head screws. I first thought there was light rust on the screws but I think it might have been red thread lock :~\

I have an 87 with a 302. Ever since I got it (year and a half ago I think) it's had an idle surge. At first, it would just surge 1,000-500 when at idle (gear or neutral). It was random. Usually when at a stop for more than 20 seconds. Sometimes if I rev it, it'll fall to 600 and jump back up to 1000 and either idle properly at 800 or start surging. When it surged, I could give it a quick tap of the gas and it would quit for a while and then come back. It wouldn't go away unless i let the truck figure it out for itself and not mess with it. After 30sec-one minute, it'll quit and idle good. It would drop low when put into gear also and come back. After some time, the ICM went bad and it wouldn't start so I replaced it. Started up and was good, but the idle surge got somewhat better. Was less frequent and smaller range of rpms. Time went on and it went back to normal surging all the time. Then.. Don't ask me why.. I cut the cat and muffler off. It surged every time it ran. Would not stop. I can't remember if I did something to fix it or if it just quit on its own but if I remember right, it just quit on its own and surged it's "normal" amount. Then my battery went. Replaced it, idle surge got way better and quit dying down in reverse. Then it got worse again. Eventually replaced spark plug wires. Got better.. Then worse again. Replaced wires again (cheap Omnispark wires broke) with MSD with MSD cap&button. Broke a spark plug and had that fixed. Drove to the shop on 7 cylinders (that was rough lol). Ran a lot better. Idle surge got better. Then got worse again. One day it started going down to 400, even 300 rpm at lights, acting like it wanted to die. Would start the truck and it would idle 500-1,500 and rev by itself like there's a person trying to keep it running.. Used to be, I'd pull the connector for the IAC and it would immediately die.. Well now that's not the case. It status sputtering and RUNS at 300 rpm... Barely.. It would eventually die but it ran long enough for me to get in and rev it and keep it going.. Started stalling and such so I replaced the IAC. this changed up that idle surge a little bit. Quit stalling. Idle surge was somewhat normal.. Surge at start up went away.. Well the 500-1500 did. Now the truck waits until it idles down to 1,000 to start surging. And it'll do its 500-1,000 and eventually stop. But now it always does it the second I throw it into PARK. It would have about one idle surge spell in gear and then just stop and wouldn't do it again for a long time.. Until I take it out and back into gear. Now it's doing it way more again, even died on me at work when I threw it in reverse.. Sputtered at 300rpm and died.. Started back but still.. And it's starting to do it more at traffic lights. Would this be the TPS? It still does the thing where if I rev it, it'll die down to 600 and come back. And today when slowing down, it started down shifting funky but can't explain it. One day I tried to get the tires to spin (thanks to messed up breaking blah, my truck didn't want it), and it idled at 1,000 in gear after my attempt and holding it to the floor with the break down enough to keep the truck in place. Same thing at a drive threw one night.. Idled at 1,100 for some reason. Also has a periodic miss. Is usually present when starting the truck. Can only hear it at revs above 1,200 in park. Sometimes it's not there. I gave the engine an upgraded ground straight to the battery along with a new body ground from the battery and that seemed to help for a while but surging came back.

You are dead wrong about the 460's having the same TPS configuation . I own a 1988 Ford F250 having the side to side intake with the TPS on the side of the intake. So when you state your video covers all models that is incorrect. However would be pleased to see a video on my models configuration, Thanks James

Have you checked the capacitors inside the computer? They are a known problem. From what I understand if the capacitors are bad inside the computer it will not send the correct voltage to the sensors. Capacitors are cheap and easy to replace. The rest of the computer is pretty basic and bulletproof.

Is there any way to adjust these? My friends grandson put one on her 92 F150 5.0, and ever since then when you put the hammer down (taking a hill, entering a highway), the truck falls on its face. It bogs down, and if you keep your foot in it, a CEL will appear and the truck will stall. If you take your foot off the gas, the CEL disappears and the truck keeps moving. Put your foot in it again, and it will bog again. I'm stumped.

Absolutely fantastic video! I am also having problems with my 1992 Ford F150 5.0 (8 cyl) . Erratic idle, stalls, hesitates, stumbles and finally dies when coming to s stop! I changed the IAC valve first as that seemed like the easiest attempt at a solution. Also changed the PCV valve but unfortunately, nothing has changed. So..................it looks as if I am going to be forced to try a go at the TPS next.

+Harry Alleva You should quit changing parts until you know what is wrong. Most replacement parts are lower quality than the originals. Also, when you change a part you are making it harder to diagnose the real problem. Only replace a part if it fails a published test procedure. What codes are you getting? You may just have a bad ground connection or a weak battery. Buy a Haynes with the red cover or the older blue cover. Unfortunately the newer blue covers eliminated a lot of the EFI info and wiring diagrams. Page 12-63 should say "92-later F/Bronco diagram 13 of 13. If it does you have the older book which is good. If it does not even have a page 12-63 it is the newer book which is not worth having except as a crutch until you can get your hands on the older book.

Do you need the cooling lines? Can you block it off?

Very helpful infol

John Zyla Glad it helped, thanks for watching.

What is the other sensor?And can the TPS cause a transmission problem?

Thanks so much

I also have a 95 E-150, but I have no car repair skills at all. When the shop told me I had a bad TPS and they'd install a new one for $200, I thought "just a sensor? how hard could that be? I'll just swap it out myself." A week later I finally have the throttle body out and got the old TPS off. I noticed that the little groves inside the new sensor are about 1/16 of an inch off from where the old one was. It's just enough difference to make the sensor difficult to screw back on. Is that going to cause problems for my van, or is there a way to adjust it so it sits flush? Thanks for the helpful videos! Very glad to see you are recovering well!

+SmithyJester There may be a piece from the old sensor that broke off and is still stuck to the throttle body. It could also be the wrong sensor. There is a rotating assembly inside the sensor that can separate and get stuck to the throttle body making it difficult to mount the new one.

I sure like the tool

I use anti seize lub on every screw I remove and replace now. Too many stripped bolts on old Fords. Great video. I had to do that to my 87 a few years ago. Seems like Ford parts last a long time. and rust and seize up making replacement a bitch. For instance, water pump replacement. Everything has it's down side.
