    Just want to give you a shout out. I've watched and used many of your videos since I bought a 2009 F-150 last year. I'm retired Navy and was an aircraft mechanic for 20 years. Your videos have been a blessing to me and have saved me a ton of money. I've always worked on my own cars and trucks but the knowledge in getting from your videos is huge. I don't think people understand what it takes for you to put these out as far as time and effort goes. So thank you so very much Sir. Bravo Zulu, a Navy term meaning Job Well Done.

    POWER RESTORED! 2009 F150 5.4L 3v - 180,000 miles. I cleaned the TB per these instructions and performed a relearn from the other video. During the first test drive, the throttle seemed like it was sticking. Like it was in cruise control. When I came to a stop, it was surging back and forth between 700rpm and almost 2000. I could shut off the engine, restart, and it would idle great, very smooth. As soon as I gave any throttle, it would start surging again. I rechecked my fittings and plugs. Started back up, idle was good until I touched the pedal. It still surged but was diminished some. But it was like it was still trying to figure out the idle. So I barely taped the throttle, it would rev and hold for a moment then come back down to a smooth idle. Did another shut off and restart. Then it was idling perfect even when I revved the engine; it came back down to normal idle. Did another test drive, WOW! Significantly noticeable power increase. Now onto the induction service. I could see down into the intake manifold, and it was quite dirty. THANK YOU, FordTeckMakuloco!

    I second this. Right around a year ago this month, actually, I cleaned the throttle body in my trailblazer that had 155K miles of crap on it, and failed to keep the electronics to the top, and ended up getting some cleaner inside, causing a high cold start idle and lots of random fluctuation. Finally, I went and bought a good used one from a salvage yard today, cleaned it up while keeping the electronics to the top the whole time, and never aiming the spray directly at the hole for the rod of the butterfly valve, and so far it's fixed my issues.

    Thanks a million for this video tutorial. Worked all night and on my way home my car stalled after I exited the highway and stopped at the light. I was able to put the truck in neutral and restart my 2004 4.6L Explorer. For years I’ve noticed that @80mph uphill or cruising my SUV would give a slightly smooth trot, it was noticeable because everyone head would give a steady nod while riding ein my SUV. I didn’t mind because I had no issues until my 2nd battery and 2nd alternator died. The battery and alternator 1st died in 4yrs. I spent over 6 $Bills in 2008 and 10yrs later I decided to change them myself. One thing I didn’t know was that I had to reset the computer memory and once my battery and alternator had been replaced I noticed the car idling at +/-400RPM and got a code: P0506 Idle Control System RPM - Lower Than Expexted two days later. I used MAF cleaner, lint free wipes and a clean nylon pipe cleaner without removing the valve since I do not have the replacement gaskets This week. I’ll monitor the result.

    Once the cleaning is complete, I also put a drop or two of oil (3 in 1 oil, etc) in both pivot points of the butterfly and work the oil in a bit, then wipe down any excess. It helps to keep that moving joint lubricated and moisture/ice free.

    can't resist comment, the gunk causing the carbon and varnish is from petroleum products, gasoline and lubricating oil vapors. So putting a drop of oil on the pivot points of the butterfly is harmless. the temperatures of the throttle body are not high enough to cook the oil and even if so it is not going to cause a major failure anymore than the normal deposits that will come with time. The oil is effective for a time, whether it is long enough or whether the lubricated parts really experience a beneficial difference in function I can't say but the thinking sure seems right, can't hurt is the big point here.

It's driving fine now, but yesterday, it went into limp mode for about 20 minutes, where before it did it for a second or two. The throttle body is about $230. Just wondering if that was the problem or maybe something else. A garage to do a dashboard light diagnostic would cost over $100 which I'd like to avoid. Maybe I should just take out the existing throttle body and clean it up first before doing anything else? Not sure what else to do.

    Good stuff to know! Thanks for your great video. I 've seen a bunch that never mention the electronic throttle pitfalls... I'm wondering if anyone can answer my question. In the process of getting to the root of fuel trim problems, I was going to clean the throttle body. When I opened it up, however, I discovered that it was clean as new, no exaggeration. The car has 43000 miles on it. I have run techron through the car on a semi-regular basis, and my previous tank of gas I ran the complete fuel system cleaner through it. But I don't understand how that would affect the throttle body. Also, what about the possibility of a stuck PCV valve keeping it from getting dirty? Though I would expect that would throw a code, which my computer has never thrown. thanks

    Another great video! I just watched this vid and the "Electronic Throttle Body Calibration Procedure" video. BEFORE removing the throttle body for cleaning, would you recommend I disconnect the battery? Then clean/reinstall TB (with new OE Ford gasket) and perform calibration procedure? Vehicle is 2012 Ford Fusion SEL w/2.5L, Auto. Long time (43 years) Ford owner and your time and efforts are truly appreciated.... Thanks in advance!

    Question: I have a 1993 Ford F250 Pickup with 460 engine and 188,000 miles. Runs great. Trouble is starting it after been sitting for a couple weeks. I turn the ignition on, listen to the fuel pump run, turn key to start, get a couple pistons to fire then just engine Turing over. Switch tanks, same thing. Give it a shot of starting spray and it starts and runs as Normal. Do you have any suggestions for me to check or replace?

    Was using top engine cleaner and moved throttle plate with my finger to allow spray to get in while truck was running drove it for months now having p21 code combos, it's not pedal might be throttle sensor or do you think I fried the DC motor. Also I cleaned maf sensor so might just need a pcm relearn? 4.2L with 5 speed manual has trouble accelerating right after shift up gears and popping sounds under hood

    I was wondering how to get it to stay open without damaging it but also without having to keep pressure on the accelerator. I know these things need cleaned out once in a while and that can really help. I once had a car that did not have an electronic one and I had to clean that throttle body at least one time. It was because the idle air motor was stuck and I had to keep constant pressure on the accelerator to keep the car from stalling even if I was at a stop. I would imagine that having to do that too much can't be good for the car but I only had a couple miles to travel with it in that condition and I live on back roads. Aside from a couple traffic lights before getting on the back roads it was only a bit tricky. Once I cleaned it out that problem came to a quick end..

    FordTechMakuloco I have a 2006 Ford Ranger Sport with 115k miles and it just started having a jerk when it shifts up to higher gear at around 45 miles per hour. It doesn't do it I give more gas causing the RPM's to be higher. Also when I am running about 60 and give it more gas it doesn't respond at first and RPM's don't increase or very little. Do you think the throttle body may be dirty and that is causing the problem? After watching a few of your videos that is what I am thinking. Thanks for videos and any help you may be able to give.

    FordTechMakuloco - I just bought a 2010 Fusion Hybrid w/110k miles on it. The yellow wrench(s) come on when driving at about 65 mph, and I noticed this last time that it happened as soon as I let off the throttle. Engine was up to temperature. I know the TBs have issues, but no scan tool. Is this a common problem related to the TB? Is it worth it to just remove and clean the TB for this? Does it have to be recalibrated after cleaning (removal), or just after replacement? Thanks!

    So I get this straight, you CAN move the blade when it is NOT energized correct? No fear of damage to motors or gears? I did move the plate on one of my cars when energized and I think it f-ed up my TB. And now I am concerned that I was sticking my fingers in there. You are a wonderful resource.

    disconnect the battery ground, then the throttle body connector , and only after that can then move the plate manually, Never mess with moving the throttle plate with power on as the computer will see it as unintended throttle movement that's not commanded and it will try and drive the motor to jam the throttle back closed with considerable force to correct it back to the position where its expected to be . This will injure your finger and damage the throttle servo drive mechanism. please correct me if I am wrong.. flushing all that gunk into your engine intake is a bad thing to do anyway, and you can not clean it properly when its mounted.

    I am almost scared to drive my 2012 F150 with the 3.5 Ecoboost anymore. It is going into limp mode (wrench on the dash) about every time I drive it. Thank goodness it hasn't happened to me on the freeway, just at idle and slower speeds. I have changed out the plugs (.030 gap, OEM plugs), cleaned the sensors (3) and it is idling as bad as ever. I ended up replacing the MAP sensor because it did not clean up well. Oh...also replaced the air filter, which needed changed. I also did the small hole in the bottom driver's side corner of the inner cooler, which very little oil or crud came out. I am still getting around 19.0 mpg (19.5 mpg on my latest 250 mile drive last weekend) with the truck, but have to get this limp mode problem taken care of. Do you think I need to clean the throttle body or just replace it and then do a reset on the PCM? Thanks for your help.
