THis moring my wife was driving her 2005 F-150 FX4 4x4 to work when the Wrench light on the Dash Came on and when she pressed the gas pedal there was no responce at all. the truck went to Idle and she moved it off to the side of the road. This will make the second time that this happened in a years time. Has anyone else experienced this? Last year when it happened we took it to the local dealership and there was no Code dropped in the computer so they could not tell us what it was.

Interesting thing is when this happens if you roll to the side of the road and Put it in park and shut the truck off it will clear itself and you can start the truck and proceed on. Like I said its been a year since the last time it happened and this is what I had her do this morning and sure enough it cleared and she proceeded on.

Any help would be appreciated.

Has done it to me twice aswell my code i ran right after with my old edge said idle air control valve got stuck open but it runs just fine wen i pull over and restart as you say ive heard your tb could be goin bad or you can just change a little peice on the side but im not gonna change anything until it dont start but of course thats me im sure i would feel different if it was a loved one.

The idle air control valve is easily removed and cleaned. No need at all to replace the throttle body. Nevermind-this applies to 03 and older.

That's going to be hard to do when these trucks don't have an IAC.

Doh, you are right! That's 03 and older I was thinking of. Drive by wire does not have one. Strange to throw a IACV code then.

Its supposed to be that little round cylinder mounted on the side of throttle body from what i read not sayin thats true just what i read during research

Well it turns out the Throttle body is the problem and After yesterdays morning episode the Drive home wasnt very pleasant and it crapped out. Its at the shop today having the Throttle body replaced.

Damn that sounds expensive good luck sir.

You probably just need a throttle body motor and possibly a throttle position sensor. Rarely have I ever seen or heard of the actual throttle body not working.
