The Throttle Body in Ford Explorer vehicles is a principal part, which controls the air inflow into the engine in accordance with the accelerator pedal position. The tall narrow container houses a butterfly valve that can be opened or closed to regulate the amount of air that is drawn into the engine affecting fuel that is admitted to the combustion chamber in order to maintain the right air/fuel mixture. Older models used a Throttle Body Injection or TBI method while newer cars and trucks use a multi-port fuel injection where the fuel delivery does not involve the throttle. The steady shift from mechanical throttle control to the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) has increased reliability and coordinated the throttle with other systems and has also indirectly boosted the driver's safety and total vehicle performance. Unfortunately, due to the significance of the throttle body and the influence it has on engine performance, various components, including the TPS sensor, the idle air control valve, among others, must be cleaned or replaced from time to time to enhance the performance of the throttle body hence minimizing problems like rough idle, among others.

Q: How to service and repair the throttle body safely and effectively on Ford Explorer?
A:
All servicing and repairs of the throttle body require safety measures that prevent the use of smoking or open flames near fuel components because highly flammable mixtures exist. Start by taking off the air cleaner outlet tube before you disconnect both electronic throttle body and throttle position sensor electrical connectors. The first step entails unscrewing the nut before putting the wiring harness bracket to the side. You must unscrew all electronic throttle body hardware together with the gasket before you dispose of the used gasket. Tighten the bolts to 9 Nm (80 lb-in) value during reinstallation while also using new electronic throttle body gaskets. The operation to reinstall the components requires following the opposite steps of the removal process while making sure all connections remain tight.
