  Q: What safety precautions should be taken when servicing the throttle body on Ford Explorer Sport?

  A: Your safety when servicing throttle bodies will require you to keep away from all sources of ignition and tobacco products because highly flammable fuel mixtures endanger your health. Protect the throttle body bore as well as plate area because special coatings will get damaged during cleaning. The first step is to disconnect the air cleaner outlet tube followed by removal of the Throttle Position (TP) sensor electrical connector before disconnecting the Accelerator Cable and the speed control cable if your vehicle has this component. The service requires the removal of the throttle body following these component disconnects while discarding the gasket. To finish the service follow the reverse order of installation steps from removal.
