Great video! Walked me right through it. Only thing I couldn’t see was disconnecting the wiring harness after lifting the red clip…just have to press down on left side while pulling
This is one of the best videos I have watched very clear and concise. The absolute best thing about this video is that she did not feel the need to embellish herself and everything else before carrying out the repair. For that a big thank you. I get so irritated by wasting my time making yourself feel important.
Thank you very much, I bought a code reader when my F-150 died, and determined this is what I needed to do. Your video saved me a lot of money and hassle, thank you.
@@sukisshop3390 Again, awesome vid! It def was the throttle body. Once piece of advice though that I learned the hard way: spend that extra 100-200 on the Ford OEM part. Swapped an aftermarket part in and I was still having issues. Bought the OEM and boom, my baby is back!
Hey thank you very much for this video. Having to do this today after my F-150 coded about an hour ago. Great directions and making it simple for people like me that don't know cars. One small suggestion maybe would be to put things like part numbers or tool list in your description as well so you don't have to go through the video and pause or rewind to the spot to write it down. Can copy and paste the part in a search engines to look for nearest parts etc. But that is a minor thing. really loved the video so helpful! Thanks again.
Very informative. … …. AND You are also the first mechanic I have ever seen wearing all that jewelry and still have all 9 fingers and both thumbs. You might want to consider doing a video on how you accomplished this feat. I’m pretty sure it would be a one of a kind video.
how did you know this needed to be replaced? I get random surging under acceleration at low speeds - almost like a misfire but i changed all the plugs and coils and its still doing it
Hello great video.. I do have a question my 2013 f150 has p2107 but also my battery is being drained even when truck is off toy think both problems are related? Thanks
@@joseayalaayala2730 it very well could be, if the wiring is bad going to the throttle body actuator, possibly shorting out and causing drain on your battery. It’s always good to check your fuses in both fuse boxes too.
I changed my throttle body with disconnecting my battery and now when I accelerate like around 50mph my truck is on limp mode why?? Do I need to reprogram ?
@@JohnJohn-nh5mj I honestly don’t think it would be the throttle body, is it doing it while driving too? I know this model is known for a high idle on startup, could be a sensor, like coolant temp or one of the many little sensors it has. Mine does it sometimes only on startup but once it reaches operating temp then the RPMs smooth out.
Did you have to recalibrate it once you installed the new one? I've read that you only need to recalibrate if you clean your existing one and put it back on, but I can't find a definitive answer.
I would check the power going to the throttle body pigtail. If you’re getting voltage there, it shouldn’t be the throttle body causing it to go into limp mode. Possibility another sensor? I’m sorry that’s probably not much help.
Mine had just had plugs changed and valve cover gaskets. It threw a code for throttle body actuator "closed" and a purge solenoid issue. Just curious if this could be due to an electrical issue, or I'd the actuator could be changed instead of the entire throttle body.
It could be, wouldn’t hurt to check your connections. My truck had given a code for the throttle body actuator and was dying out upon acceleration. I had wondered about just changing the actuator too but the cost wasn’t much different from buying the whole throttle body with the actuator already attached. I did take apart my old one, it was just torx screws.
So what issue was your truck doing that made you decide to change the throttle body? I have a 2011 F-150 3.5 v6 eco and I keep misfiring on cylinders 1 & 4. I changed all coils, Spark plugs, both up and down stream O2 sensors and still have no luck. Next step for me is to probably change to a new Cat
Jeremy hill, sorry so late in reply, my issue was when I would accelerate it would randomly lose power and then it got to where it would lose power and die when accelerating. I’d pull over, restart the truck and it’d run fine again for a few miles.
What else could a person change if the throttle body is new. I did a engine swap and the dealer ship put old parts on to the nee block. Such a pain in the ass. Definitly wanting to change alot of things on my own cause shes at 280,000 now but engine swapped out at 180,000k
Bro listen miss, I've talked to so many mechanics all men I mean I'm a guy anyways me and my wife called so many pros and for me I said it was the transmission my wife's moms boyfriend said no no no it's the fuel filter 😂 anyways the pros said the transmission which I agree with cause the gears sticking and wrench symbol all that fun stuff but then I saw ur video and I thought that's gotta be it, very well don't video clear speech and camera angles thanks so much we will try this to see if it fixes our ace (ford-f150)
I followed the steps in the video and they were perfect. Took about 15 minutes to compete the throttle body replacement. Thank you very much!
Glad it helped!
Really appreciate you putting this video out. Had no idea what I was getting into, but you've put together a great instructional video.
You're very welcome!

Hands down, the best instructional video on changing the throttle body assembly. Thank you so much! 🤜🤛
Thank you, happy to help!
Worked great. Saved me $500 at the dealer

I have not attempted this replacement yet, but plan on it and just wanted to say thank you very much for taking the time to create this video.
Thank you!
Your videos very precise and to the point and helpful. 😊
Just switched mine out. Great vid!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!

Lol thank you! I do usually remove my jewelry and put up my hair when I do harder jobs, but yes, I have been lucky so far!
step for step 100% spot on thank you
Great video. Something to add is resetting the PCM to relearn idle and shift points. Should be done anytime the battery is disconnected or dies.
Thanks for posting ,my truck has same problem ,got the perts on the way to fix it 😁😁
No problem 👍
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback! Hope everything goes smoothly for you!
Appreciate ya!!!!❤❤❤❤
One helpful tip on making videos about the engine parts,, Zoom in and zoom out to gain a clearer picture of where the components are,
@@jondeere5638 thank you! Yes this particular video I was in a hurry in my driveway, not ideal lol
Thank you!
Very helpful video. Thanks so much.
how did you know this needed to be replaced? I get random surging under acceleration at low speeds - almost like a misfire but i changed all the plugs and coils and its still doing it
Mine had completely lost all acceleration so I had to coast to the shoulder, kill and restart her. Did a little research and hoped that was it 😂

That is odd, I wouldn’t think so but possibly. Maybe bad throttle body sensor connector?
What were the symptoms you were getting when you went to replace it. Cause I have rough idle, sluggish acceleration, and it jolts.
Question , my 2011 f150 3.5 when I started it accelerated a lot , you think is the trotle body too?

I’m wondering the same

Did you open up the electronics side? Was there oil in there?
Thanks!
Do the bolts have a specific torque requirement?
Probably but I wasn’t too worried about it and just fastened them hand tight with the ratchet, should be fine
Awesome video

Same issue I want to know why my ecoboost doesn’t have power while acceleration
FordGuy03 I gave up and took it to the ford house unfortunately. 967 dollars was the wires and clips for my problem.
FordGuy03 try cleaning your O2 sensors. That might work. That was my issue the first time 5 years ago
Jeremy hill, sorry so late in reply, my issue was when I would accelerate it would randomly lose power and then it got to where it would lose power and die when accelerating. I’d pull over, restart the truck and it’d run fine again for a few miles.
Fordguy03 hate you had to do that but glad you got it fixed
Thx for the info
What was your trouble code
Perfect how-to none of the wasting time with all the extra stories lol...
