Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the throttle body on this 2005 Ford F150 with the 4.6 liter V8 engine and it's the same part and similar process on these F150s with this engine from 2004 to 2006. The items you'll need for this are a new throttle body from 1AAuto.com, flat blade screwdriver, an 8mm socket and ratchet with an extension and a small torque wrench.
Start off by just loosening up this hose clamp and then just pull it free. Pull out on the tab on this harness and then push in on the tab underneath that and pull it free. Do the same thing with this harness over here. Now remove these four 8mm bolts on the throttle body. We'll just fast forward as Mike removes those. Your throttle body will pull free.
If you don't have a new gasket, just carefully remove the old one from your throttle body. Then put it into place on your new throttle body and just push the bolts through. This will just hold the gasket into place. We'll fast forward as he pushes the other three bolts through. Line up the throttle body with those screws through it and then just twist the screws by hand into place to hold the throttle body. Once you have them all started, you can just go through and tighten them all up. Then using a small torque wrench, you want to tighten each of these to 100 inch-pounds. Push the hose back into place and tighten up that hose clamp, reconnect the harness and push in that clip. Do the same thing on this side and then you're all set.
We hope this video helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

Throttle body came in a nice package. The best price around I could find and the quality of the part seems good. Something I overlooked was it didn't come with a gasket. Made one out of a roll of gasket material I had, no biggie. Truck runs a lot better!

My wife drives a 2006 Ford Explorer and the orange wrench light came on which in this case meant the throttle body. Removed the old one and yup, full of carbon build up like no other. The sensor most likely worn out too. So I cleaned it up with throttle body cleaner to keep it running but ordered a new one when I reset the system and the light stayed on. 1a auto beat every price, even rockauto! Plus I admit I like the handy YouTube tutorials just in case. The part came as ordered and fast! Ill be ordering through 1aauto again.
Great

2009 mustang 4.0. Simple replacement. Took about 5 minutes. No recalibration was needed. Easier to replace the throttle body rather to guess if sensor was bad, throttle body was cracked or throttle blades were worn out. Car would lose throttle and just idle. Then may run fine for a while. So far no codes or issues. Highly recommend.

Hello, This is short for Idle Air Control. The computer controls the motor to set base idle while the engine is running.

Brian F

Enter an answer to this question.An idle air control actuator or idle air control valve (IAC actuator/valve) is a device commonly used in fuel-injected vehicles to control the engine's idling RPM. In carburetted vehicles a similar device known as an idle speed control actuator is used.

Russell P

Yes but you have to save the gasket behind it. You have to pull a clip off of each side pull the air filter off. And then four bolts come off and you need a torque wrench to put those four bolts back on. A1 supplies a video to help you through it

Hello
I do not think so. Check the brake booster first.
Scan for trouble codes, if you can look at the pids related to the throttle. Don't throw parts at it. That can get expensive.
