This is the TSB.

This article supersedes TSBs 10-2-5, 10-2-3, 9-24-1, 09-4-5, 09-4-2 and 08-18-2 to consolidate previously released information and update the Service Procedure. ISSUE:

Some vehicles may exhibit diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0505, P0506 and/or engine idle RPM fluctuation and hard starts. These vehicles may also exhibit DTCs P2111 and P2112 after KAM has been is cleared, or the battery has been disconnected or the vehicle had a dead battery. On vehicles with over 10,000 miles the issue may be caused by sludge buildup in the electronic throttle body (ETB) leading to airflow being less than desired.

Just cleaned my throttle bottle last night and the throttle response difference is unreal. Just wanted to say thanks for the great writeup! Here is what it looked like before. Forgot to take after pictures but it looks the same as the original post.

Great write up! Just cleaned mine along with the mass airflow sensor.

I'm debating on taking the plastic layer off or not when I do mine

Thanks, Although I have a 2005, 4.6 it was ez as hell. It fixed my issue that I've had for years and finally it just was almost undriveable. I figured I'd take it to the dealer but do some research first to be knowledgeable when the dealer tries to screw me over. I came across your post and was timid about the job but it took about 30mins and cost 20$. Instantly my stalling issue was resolved.
I owe you. I'll pass the savings on to whatever bar I'm headed tonight and make love to a beautiful woman in your honor.
I love Ford and Ford owners. I'm sure the honorable Henry Ford would be proud of the help you gave to all of us.
Thank you!!!

Always glad to lend a helping hand. Also glad to hear you avoided the dealer! Enjoy your night out just don't bang any fuglies in my honor.

First off, thanks for the post. Good walk through for part-time, weekend-warrior house mechanics like myself. I was reluctant to do this today means how it is in the low teens here in SW Missouri, but I am extremely glad that I did. I just recently bought this truck and have had some issues with a rough idle and even a stall here and there. I changed the FPDM in hopes that was the issue. It was definitely due for a change judging by the 1/2 inch of corrosion on the backside of the module, but it didnt solve all my issues. I did this tb clean in about an hour today and started my truck (first crank) and went on a test drive. My truck acted like a dog that had just been let off its leash for the first time. Amazing power gain and fixed my throttle response issue as well as my rough idle. I will drive it around for a few weeks and will post if my status changes. Ive included a few pics for the before and after:

Tackled this the other day. Picked up these two kits from harbor freight:

http://www.harborfreight.com/10-piec...kit-95947.html

http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece...set-90631.html

Clip the ends, and you can drop them right into your drill. Cleaned out all the ports really well, spraying/drilling/spraying/drilling, etc... Used TB cleaner. Soaked exterior in degreaser for about 20 minutes, then scrubbed off in sink. Used the dremel with mini wire brush attachment and cleaned out the port, somewhat polishing. Couple of small burr's around the lip where the fly closes to, knocked those down. EGR ports were interesting. VERY dirty. The wire tube brushes were particularly awesome for this part. LED style light will allow you to see in, FYI. Once all said and done, was a great project.

My sense of accomplishment was immediately dispatched when I put it back on the truck and realized the EGR tube from the exhaust manifold was broken beyone repair at the manifold. It's rusted to the point where it appears to be a gnurled ****. In no way shape or form resembling a fitting.

We'll see how the manifold-to-header process goes. Hopefully the bolts dont break off in the heads

1/2 hour for a filter change......no doubt thats what theyd charge even though it only takes 5 or 10 minutes
