2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Throttle Body Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the throttle body on 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

  A: Service of the throttle body needs to start with removal of the air cleaner outlet tube. The maintenance process requires disconnecting the throttle position (TP) sensor electrical connector beside disconnection of the accelerator cable and the speed control cable (when present). Take out the throttle body after carefully removing it yet throw away the accompanying gasket. Use the opposite steps to install the new throttle body. The special coating on throttle body bore points and plate surfaces must not be cleaned because this could result in damage. Workplace safety requires avoiding smoking along with refraining from carrying lighted tobacco or open flames near fuel-related components because highly flammable mixtures are constantly present which pose a risk for personal injury in case of ignition.
