2004 Ford Crown Victoria Throttle Body Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the throttle body on 2004 Ford Crown Victoria?

  A: The first step for servicing the throttle body requires maintaining safety protocols which include staying away from using open flames and smoking near fuel-related parts because highly flammable mixtures exist. Start by separating the air cleaner outlet tube followed by disconnecting wires connecting the throttle position sensor and accelerating and speed control cables. The throttle return spring should also be detached. You must first discard the throttle body gasket before securing the throttle body with four bolts. To install the parts you should use a new TB gasket then install the throttle body while tightening its bolts in two stages using 9 Nm torque (80 lb-in) followed by rotating the bolts by 90 degrees. After reinstalling the air cleaner outlet tube you must finish restoring all connections between throttle return spring as well as accelerator control and speed control cables and throttle position sensor electrical connectors.
