Complete guide on how to clean the throttle body on your 5.4L Triton-powered 2004 - 2008 Ford F-150. - Авто та транспорт
I have to agree with some of the other comments. you really did do a good job explaining things not only on this video but also on "How to change plugs without breaking" Ford f150 2004-08 models.
Yes. Those plugs are a design failure.
After I did all of this, no more engine dying at stops. Great vid.
I just bought a 06 Lincoln Mark (beautiful truck) unfortunately after doing timing, full tune-up, and new cats🙄 it's still running crappy 😒. Took it to a handful of mechanics none have suggested this simple fix. Was just talking to God about it then I looked up something like rough idle and found this. Will definitely be trying this on the next warm day. God bless you for sharing ur knowledge 😇 being a single truck mom ain't easy 🤦🏽♀️🤣
Just did this today, the wife was complaining about hesitation between 40-50 MPH in her '04 F150, spoke to a few folks and they pointed to looking at the throttle Body first before replacing or considering the spark plugs. I searched youtube, found your video and the process was straightforward step-by-step. competed the entire process in less than an hour. I drove it down the freeway pushing it hard between 40-50MPH a number of times and it was no longer hesitating, and.... it's now running smoother overall. Thanks for the video. Saved me time, didn't need to take it to my mechanic, and saved me a good amount of $$$$.
Really?..I have the same issue with my 2005 f150 5.4 Lariat, hesitates between 40~50 mph goes away if I give it more throttle. I hope doing this to my f150 removes that hesitation also
@@johnnymojica8961 same here. I was told my problem was with VVT and a cam phaser. Did you try this and did it solve the hesitation?
I’m having the same issue with my Ford F-250 5.4 won’t accelerate pass 40 to 50mph
Could be the coils on the spark plugs also
Be careful and do your research about replacing the plugs just did mine in my 04 f150 3-valve Triton snapped 7 out of 8 truck was down for about a month and a half maybe 2 it's back up and running just a lot of time and patience
I want to first say thank you for your time you put into your videos, and then also the professional approach you use with no foul language like some of the others. Your approach is short and sweet and to the point.
Will be the first to say I wish you were my neighbor so when I go out and try these things on my truck and when things go south I can tap on your shoulder and ask where I messed up. 🤨
Thanks again,

This dude is soo underrated. His videos are awesome
100%. Very easy to understand and very clear visuals.
Instablaster
This is one of the most professional informative video ever.
Thanks. Made a big difference with the idle on my truck.
I just wanted to say thank you for such a clear detailed explanation of how to remove and clean this throttle body. I have this motor in my 2006 Lincoln Mark LT and just knew that it had never been done. Needless to say it was scankie. Followed step by step and got it looking good. Thank you young man.
Hey do u still have your Mark Lt? I have an 06 with 298,000 miles on it and will be doing this soon. Did you notice much difference after cleaning, thanks
@@slimsherman5818 No I don’t have my Lincoln. As a matter of fact the motor went out. But when I cleaned the throttle body, I really didn’t notice any difference. It was fairly easy to do so I guess it just made me feel better. Take care, Ed
@@TriGlideEd Well,if you didn't notice much difference maybe I'll pass on this project. Thanks for responding brother
@@slimsherman5818 You are welcome Slim. Take care, Ed
I'm going to give it a try. Your perfect step-by-step explaination gives me confidence.
Damn dude you're a beast at explaining things.
Thank you! This works for my 2007 Expedition as well! It runs great now!
Great video, step by step and on point. Just finished my 2005 f150. Idle is a bit better, but the response is 1000 times better. Thank you for taking the time and making this. It helped me! Ps. I used pb blaster penitrating for my stubborn rusty bolts. It’s a pretty good engine degreaser too.
Awesome video! Fixed my engine that stalled after high RPMs. Only took like an hour and $6 for the cleaner.
Followed your instructions and had absolutely zero problems, thank you!!
Thanks! I’ve never done anything like this before, but with your instructions got the whole thing done in a little over an hour. Engine is purring like a kitten.
Thank you so much! I love to keep my 2005 F 150 running perfect , right now she has 179000 miles it runs as good as it was back in 2005! Stay well.... thank you again.
Still running?
Thank I have a 2004 f150 Heritage, gonna do this in the morning! Excellent tutorial !!!!
Great video. I have a 05 F150 5.4 that was shutting off when I left off the gas after acceleration. Cleaning my throttle body fixed the issue. THanks
Thanks for the vid. Helped with my engine stall issue when stopping. Mine is an 04 and it was extremely dirty. Glad I did it.
Hey I know your comment is 2 years old but do you remember if that was the actual issue I just got a new transmission in my 04 and I just be damn if it’s not doing the same thing man please help
Thanks for the tutorial. Fixed my problem.
Every time it's time for me to change my spark plugs and clean the throttle body and MAF I come watch your videos on these 2 things about 10 times each, all over again.
You're very thorough but you don't take forever to go through the process. I have a 2006 Ford F150 5.4 3v Triton. I love the truck and if you take care of it, it runs beautifully. Ford just wimped out and didn't take care of their customers by giving a free 1st round plug change.
Anyway, I am grateful for your help with this. Will be trying to catch a warm day here in the next week or so and get this taken care of. Thanks and Jesus bless.
Well I guess my turn to tackle this little project. Thanks a million for a simple and thorough vid. You rock man!
My 2005 FX4 with 148,00 miles is running like a new truck. Thank you. Easy to follow. Pity I cant load a photo. My throttle body was so gunked up it makes the one in the video look like new.
thanks for the video, the engine ran so quiet after doing this, saved me money too
Thanks. Definitely helped with my idle. Next is changing plugs.
My truck has 173k on it and this fixed my eratic idle and stalling at stop signs. It idles perfectly now and runs better than it has in a long while. Make sure you plug everything back in or you'll get weird error codes coming out the yin yeng...I forgot the top one and thought I was screwed, plugged back in and it ran perfectly nice smooth idle somewhere between 500-650 rpm...tough to tell with the crappy tach.
Thank you for putting this up
Thanks for these Awesome videos, lots of information and very well explained!
Appreciate this and the spark plug vid! felt way confident from watching this tutorial
You're the man you just saved me a lot of money
Jeez he makes this look SO EASY. I also just watched the vid on changing the spark plugs on my 06 Expedition bc i heard it was gonna be a pain in the ass bc i was told i have a "WONKY" 5.3L so i had 2 see b4 i dig into her. But thank god for UA-cam mechanics!! Bc i can do most of this myself (hopefully)instead of getting screwed by Ford or some scammin ass auto shop. Thank you for taking the time to teach & inform ppl like me.
Thank you for the video, I will try with my Ford F-150 2004
Another great video. Very clear instructions, it works. Thank you.
Good video man. Just what I wanted. No bullshit just straight forward.
Much obliged mister. You should have your own television show. I would watch it.
Thanks for the awesome videos. I have the same truck and always resort to you when I’m doing work to it. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for all the videos brother
Dude, if that took me 20 minutes, I’d be surprised. Great video with simple directions and no BS! Let’s hope it solves my intermittent stalling issues.
Did it resolve it
Did it?
You safe me a lot of money body, thank you I just Finnish doing this and my 07 f150 is running like a new tested in the free way and runs like a brand new truck, I’m glad I found your video really help me a lot in the proses of the job. You good and God bless you my friend . Thank again ...
Great video. Thank you for the detailed lesson.
Great video thank you for being so thorough doing the video really helped me.
Great video sure
Hey buddy thank you sooo much I bushy finish doing this to my 2005 Ford, did every step as u and came out clean and runs better thanks 🙏 a lot real easy if u have some one to show u how to do it 🔥⭐️💯
Thank you, best explanation on how to do this.
Cool having a fairly rough idle even after I changed the plugs a few thousand miles ago gonna have to give this a try. Even have a can of throttle body cleaner laying somewhere around here. Thanks for the video.
Did that help?
Did it help
Great videos. Thanks so much.
AutoRex, your videos are the clearest and most concise on UA-cam ! Excellent. Thanks !!!
Thank You for the Video.
Excellent video!
You make excellent videos, thank you!
I did this today, wow what a diff! Outstanding vid, thanku. I hav 2004 2WD F150.. throttle body was so filthy.
Hey bud,thanks for sharing this..
My 2007 5.4 did the same thing
I removed the throttle body and used a toothbrush and Dawn dish liquid (it was late and the parts store was closed),but it worked perfectly
Again,thank you so much
great video
Great Video! Thanks brother.
Worked perfect!
Great videos. Thanks so much
Great vid. Thanks
EXCELLENT VIDEO.THANKS.
Great videos no bs
I like your video it's very clear thank you God bless you
Great video tutorial.....
From Iraq 🇮🇶 I would like to say great job brother.
HI i have a 2007 f150 5.4, and can't seem to figure out the problem with it. i have the wrench light that comes on after i start driving i would lose power for a little and then the power would return but the light will stay on any suggestions ? Thank you!
Quick and easy, thanks
Good video
great explanation. Now I just have to do it! Thank you.
Great video
Thanks posting this video. I'll be doing this tomorrow on my 06 Expedition. I've got low idling and reduced power, that seems to be a problem with the 5.4L throughout the comment section. One my catalytic converters runs 100 degrees hot than the other so it must be clogged, I'll be replacing those soon. Hopefully this helps.
Did it help? I’m having similar issues.
Did it help you
Good stuff man
If someone has already cleaned the throttle body with lacquer thinner, what should be used to recoat the throttle body?
Great video! Hoping this helps. However there was dirt caked around the outside of my throttle body and as I moved it around after removing the 10mm bolts I noticed dirt fell into the hole. Is this a serious problem? What's the best method to clean down deeper?
Thanks for sharing!!! I just cleaned mine in my 2006 XLT, it was awful! Great video and easy to follow!
We’re you having a stalling issue? Did this help?
Did it help?
Mine was alternator!
A relearn of throttle trim should be done as well. Disconnect battery and put jumper across pos and neg cables to discharge all capacitors in memory. Re connect battery, let it idle till full warmup, then go for a test drive, driving normally. This will allow fuel trim and plate angle to adjust itself.
where are the capacitors
In the PCM
@@cryptowhisperer8991 thanks
Agree! He is awesome!
Thank you!
Great video
Thank you very much 🙏
muchas gracias por el video , tratare de hacerlo a mi troka
Can i use my wife's toothbrush or should i use mine ???
Rodney--LOL....
😂😂😂
If you use your wife’s tooth brush it will most like be the last time you use anything when she finds out! 🤣🛫
You’d have to buy one first :)
How are your cooking skills?
I just cleaned mine.....WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! It idles much smoother......
what did it sound like before you cleaned it? i want to know.
I just put a hole can of seafoam threw my throttle body and it made mine run a lot better
nicely done
Does opening the throttle plate not cause it to malfunction? on my Infiniti if you open the throttle plate on these plug-and-play throttle body it would break it
Nice informative video. Having the same stalling issue at idle...
Curious to know what about the IAC valve? Should that be addressed as well?
+mericanwit No IAC valve on these drive-by-wire trucks. The computer replicates the IAC function by simply opening/closing the throttle valve.
could you do same with 1999 f150?
I've been having this exact problem, idling low and rough and stalling at low speeds. I got the suggestion to clean the throttle body from your other video about spark plugs. I'm curious to try this and see if it works. Mechanics have been having a hard time figuring out what's wrong with it, and this problem has come back a few times. Thanks!
Did it help out? I’m having similar issues to those you just mentioned so I’m looking to do mine here in the next couple of days.
@@MannyFiguresItOut I had the same issue described and now I just clean the throttle body once every other year. Dealer kept trying to get me to buy new throttle body until I found out the real problem. This is on an 06 f150 5.4. I've been doing this the past 10 years without any issue.
Did this fix it
When I’m waiting at a Traffic light the engine shuts off sometimes you think I should replace it or just clean it like you did ?
Is this the same on a 2005 expedition with the 5.4?
Good vid better than most
good day. I have a question to rent the throttle body, do you have to recalibrate the throttle body
What was the 2 electrical components you unplugged from the throttle body??
Dude, you're a God. I've been looking for hours for a video like this
Very helpful but, I found that the cleaner dries too fast so, I sprayed also with WD40 and used the CRC to blown the dirt at the end. For sure is no way you can remove the carbon deposits just spraying without a brush as some other posted videos claim.
Will this work on a 2008 expedition
What about draining the PCM and relearn the throttle body after cleaning it?
I’m just curious why you unplug the negative side of the battery only. Thank you if you respond 🙏🏽
Can you access that notoruous vacuum line easier with that off?
Can this same process be done to a 2003 Ford lightning 5.4l supercharged motor??
Daniel D cleaning the throttle bottle should be the same really. Just the disassembly, if you are ever concerned about forgetting what to do always take pictures
Will it erase the trucks memory by removing it wrong?..
Is the throttle supposed to be completely shut when the car is in idle?
