    the internal balancing spool that a 1222 has musta fail? whereas the 1225 balancing spool is not part of the cartridge but is built into the valve body hence the cheaper price since it's two separate units unlike the 1222 cartridge cost is twice as much because the balancing spool is in the 1222 cartridge...you should hear the spool move back and forth when you rattle the 1222 cartridge, telling you it's not stuck

      @@sway329 Nice! congratulations on your dads new purchase! these are amazing engines!, ok so the issue with the gas pedal, in 2004 ford went to a "fly by wire" system what that means is there is no throttle cable connecting the gas pedal to the throttle body like on older vehicles, it's just a sensor that tells the throttle body how much to open depending on how far the gas pedal pressed, I was having the same issue until the "tps sensor" throttle position sensor went out and i was stranded in limp mode, I suspect the throttle body is dirty as well as the sensor beginning to fail, the sensor is located on the throttle body, I recommend you go with the OEM motorcraft part, the aftermarket part from AutoZone / O'Reilly's are chinese clones and don't work the best, good luck I hope you can get it fixed!

      michael martin THAT HAPPENED TO ME IT COULD OF BEEN SAVED!!!! Check the fluid level and if that’s good then the soleniod or 2-3 band overdrive driving it will ruin any chance of a cheap fix trust me I just dropped $3000 on a rebuilt unit to put in myself not fun

      @@david007007007 unfortunately not in the vehicle no, a shift kit could be installed to help it shift more firm but as in shift speed line pressure has to be dramatically increased and im sure upgrades will be needed. Most likely a aftermarket transmission would have to be installed, btw sorry if i confuse you, in the US we call gearboxes transmissions Lol.

      david007007007 they just start to shift slower in older units due to the bs “lifetime” fluid just put a rebuilt in mine about a month ago and it shifts remarkably fast and gained so much down low grunt back it lost so much power it almost felt like the v6 model
