Throttle Body
Took throttle Body off and cleaned it today. It was very dirty... After it was cleaned up i noticed a little corrosion on the blades. So i am looking for a new one, ford does not have a direct replacement. So suggestions on throttle bodies?

Re: Throttle Body
I hope by cleaning it you just wiped off the oil and dirty with a dry cloth and didnt use any chemicals, Ive had a ford Tb run right after trying to clean it with chemicals, you may have just ruined your old one anyway

Re: Throttle Body
Ford puts a coating on the back of the tb blades from the factory and chemicals can remove this coating as well as ruin the shaft seals and your car will never idle right again if this happens
