Just changed out the throttle body using your video. It was spot on and it worked perfect. Great video! We used a ni-cad wrench similar to yours with a long wobble socket extension, that is the only way to do it with those hard to reach hose clamps. It allows so much more precision in reinstalling the hose clamps. Thanks so much, it saved over $150 in labor charges. Bought a new Ford replacement TB instead of an aftermarket unit. Take care!
perfect tutorial. Replaced the throttle body on my 2014 without a single issue and it's idling so smooth now and more responsive. Thank you!
This video was great. Helped me diagnose the problem with my 2015 f150 and repair it. Didn’t take long and my truck is running great. Thank you Aaron.
So we changed out the throttle body and all is well! It fixed the problem! We had code 2112 and also 0299 low boost. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us this. God Bless!
Thank you Aaron, in particular getting that electrical clip off, I was of great help although everything with the entire video helped me with my 2012 F-150 lariat. Great video and I appreciate you posting...
Great vid man, thanks. I ordered the throttle body today from your link which is a nice saving from what my local dealer wanted. The link for the gasket said it wouldn't fit my 2014 f150 3.5 but no big deal I just ordered the one that would. Thanks again sure appreciate the video.
Took care of this today on my 2016 F150 after it stalling on me twice while climbing a hill. Thanks to this video it was really easy. Appreciate the detailed instructions. Thanks Aaron.
glad to hear! nice job
My truck starting doing exactly what the truck in the video is doing yesterday and I was really worried it was something expensive. One video and 30 minutes later it is fixed. This video helped A LOT.
So how did you clear your cam? And pcm?
This video provided perfect direction to understand why my 2016 Expedition shut down. I will be ordering parts soon and will rewatch this video as further guidance! Thank you Aaron!
I just fixed my f150 2014 replace throttle body for an hour, thank you Aaron for this video
Just changed out the throttle body on my 2015 f150 Lariat! Great video! Truck runs like new! Thanks!!
Great video. I replaced mine just as you showed and it worked great hauling my camper out to Yellowstone. Two or three years later, same code, limp home mode. This time I didn't have a big trip imminent, so I just cleaned the throttle body with throttle body cleaner really good. Going on 2 years now with no problems. Folks might want to try cleaning it before replacing.
So glad you posted this. I was worried about chasing the ABS codes first, and your video had the exact same codes as mine. Even though the TSB said ignore the throttle body code if U3013 was present, it was still the throttle body sending bad CAN messages.
The TSB you had put in the link was awsome! Ive been having an off and on wrench light and this sounds like it is the cause! Thanks!!
Thanks for that thorough break down. I'll be doing the same for my '15 Lariat 3.5L EB.
This video saved a family trip. Thank you so much!
Great and thorough video. My daughters 2011 Edge 3.5 stalled on her at 30 mph. After a panic, she turned the key off, restarted it, and it drove fine. Hoping this is the fix. Appreciate all the background in your video as well as the replacement portion.
Thank You! It helped me save on some labor costs and this wasn't that hard to do.
I had this happen in my '15 3.5 liter last spring 2 weeks after buying the truck used from a stealership. On a 2 lane highway, towing a tandem axle trailer...not a lot fun, very dangerous as a matter of fact. Had to have another dealership install a new throttle body as I was 800 miles from home & tools but what a shock when it happens & limp mode kicks in! Needless to say I wasn't impressed Ford knows of this issue & has done nothing to design a better throttle body for these motors. It's a cash grab in my opinion but no other maker is any different anyway so we owner's just get to deal with it. I now own a spare as well & never leave home without a good assortment of tools, lesson learned! Great video!!
wow best do it your self video ever ! thanks sooooo much
Thank you so much!
Very helpful video!
Doing mine out side of the autozone, thank you very much
So far so good 👍. Thanks for the info!
Happened to me on my 2015 Transit 250 ecoboost with about 140k. Out of nowhere the vehicle just went into limp mode. Thank god I was pulling into a gas station and as I went to accelerate it went into limp mode and wouldn't move. Turned the vehicle off and on. Moved about 100 ft and then it did it again. Could have been a real bad situation if I was in traffic. Sucks that Ford's recommendation for everything is to just replace it even when there is a known issue that should at least be on recall just like the flex coupling I've had to replace 5 times bc Ford has no permanent fix other than bring it in every 40k miles smh. Thanks for the vid! Huge help!
Perfect solution for my F-150, when I removed the old one it had oil inside just like in the video.
Dame problem with my 2015. Thanks for the great info
Mines a 2.7 its super frustrating
What did you end up doing?
Got the same issue,learning....
Great professional video !
Thank you for the video lifesaver I have question is that the right gasket for a 2015 Ford F-150 ecoboost 3.5 ?
Got me out of a jam. Much appreciated
Great job ...You're the man !!
Thank you!
We are getting too damn much electronics in our cars... The manufacturers are going to have to fight back and simplify. Remember Toyota and wide open throttles....
Great video thanks
Update on my comment. My friend has the same truck and had the same problem and this fixed his truck. His was doing the exact thing mine was so I never went and got my codes read. I just changed the throttle body & it didn’t fix it. I went and had O’reillys read the code and it was missing on cylinder 4. I changed my spark plugs and it fixed the problem. $137 mistake on me. My throttle body did have oil inside it though.
Great job on your video on how to change out the throttle body!! Question, is necessary to reset the computer with using the jumper wire from ground to positive?
Thanks , had this happen on my 3.5L 2014 F150 126k. I was driving in traffic and had to shut off and wait and limp home
Aaron, do you also include the 2,7 Ecoboost motor among the others listed? I got the dreaded wrench ob dash, and every time I hit a red light and the stop/start kicks in, the wrench appears.
Thanks for the video! I have a 2015 expedition, no check engine or codes but has low ideal, almost feels like a misfire. Good power and no hesitation. Any suggestions?!
Great video. I recommend reading the TSB. Installing and maintaining a catch can (which may or may not prevent this problem) is more difficult and more expensive than this repair.
Also, when searching for a replacement throttle body, I came across two variants of the electrical connection on the throttle body-male and female-available at O’Reilly. Check the style that is on your vehicle before replacing.
Good Day Aaron,
I have a 2014 Ford Fusion…which I’m have the same problem…slow takeoff at the light…then at around 2500 rpm’s…the power kicks in…and…then I’m off to the races… …so…after watching your video…which is excellent by the way…I have a question…before taking the replacement route of the throttle body…can the oil and carbon buildup be cleaned out?…providing the rest of the throttle body is in good condition…
Great video. Do I need to torque the throttle body bolts?
Thank you!
Hi.. Today I had my truck go into limp home mode with a AdvnaceTrac warning and another message saying Hill Start Assist is turned off. I shut down the engine and restarted, which reset it for only about a couple hundred yards then it would go back into limp home mode. This happened 4 times in a row over about 1 or two miles. The fault code was P2112.
I watched Aaron's video, used the wife's car to go pick up a new throttle body (which included the gasket. Don't know why everyone's asking for a gasket part number here). Took me 45 minutes to replace it. I didn't need to recalibrate, but there's another video on CZcams where the fellow used his diagnostic tool to reset the KAM. He also showed that while the negative wire is disconnected from the negative terminal, you could jump a small wire from the ground wire (while it is disconnected) to the positive terminal for 10 seconds and that would reset the KAM.
Anyhow, thanks for an easy to follow video Aaron. Much appreciated. $175 CDN taxes included well spent.
2016 Expedition...same thing. Thanks for posting. Ford has extended the warranty on older vehicles, but not mine--shame on you Ford.
Goodstuff!!!
I need to replace mine as well, if my battery is to too corroded to get off can I replace without disconnecting?
My intake hose keeps blowing off my throttle body... Ideas? Yes it tight. I just cleaned the edge and inside of rubber with alcohol. Will see if any change. But I'm wonder if a bad blow off valve would cause to much boost and blow it off under pressure.
Hi Aaron, my 2016 Ford Escape 2.4 w/o Ecoboost exhibits the same problem ( shudders and rough idle, turn car off and re-starts). Will this video cover my vehicle?
Will this part your showing in this video fit a 2018 Ford f 150 5.0 v8 4x4 xlt
I like this.
Hey man i just recently changed the throttle body and for some reason the truck keeps going into limp mode in the mornings when its cold but once it warms up i turn it off and back on again the all the lights go away any recommendations ?
So I'm having the same issue but I want to know why the truck starts to shake and messes with the transmission, awesome video thanks for the info
Not only that mine shaked and no response on pedal plus abs light on wrench on and airbags on 😢
Try putting “shutter fix” in transmission. I didn’t believe it till I tried it.
Any idea where temperature sensor goes
So that oil contamination in the TB...I venture to guess that comes from excessive oil carryover from the EB being a forced induction engine? In theory, would a catch can help prevent the premature TB failure? Curious how the oil gets there in the TB in that qty.
Oil leaks through the turbo seals on an older engine and gets pulled into the intake.
2015 F-150 3.5 ecoboost, problem happened many times in a week. I no longer trust the truck to function when acceleration is required.
Same temp "fix", scurry to side of road, put truck in park or neutral, turn off truck, wait at least 5 seconds, turn on again. Final step is to hope it doesn't immediately happen again. I have found letting truck stay off for 5 or so minutes (about time required to Google the problem) let's it start up with better chance of not failing again.
Update: replaced with new throttle body
Limp mode problem gone, and very surprisingly truck now getting +2 mph average over 2600 miles of mixed city and highway driving.
Could a catch can on the passenger side PCV prevent the oil buildup in the throttle body? I recently installed a can on my 2015 3.5 Ecoboost F150 and at 50% oil life the catch can was ~80% full of what looked like oil, smelled like oil/gas. The vehicle has 56k miles on it with no apparent engine issues.
Turkitron33 thanks for the video! We had major issues doing a trip from Nevada to Alabama and back towing and you saved us big time.. Easy fix now back on the road again!👍👍👍
Can it cause a cam ps fault?
Great fix, thanks! But now I have a P0299 code. Anything with the throttle body would have thrown this code??
P0299 means you probably have a hole in the blow off valve, so it is leaking boost. New (edit) BOV might solve that.
I have experienced the symptoms on my 2013 F150 with the Ecoboost engine; loss of power with a bright yellow wrench flashed up on my dash. Coasted to a stop, turned the engine off for a few seconds and then started it back up. No problems since then for the last few days. However I took the truck to my very trustworthy mechanic and he checked the codes. To our surprise there were NO CODES! However given my explanation of what happened he concluded that it probably was the throttle body too. I'm convinced I should just replace the ETB. I have no code reader...will I have problems without being able to reset the KAM? Guess I can try the jumper from the disconnected negative cable to the positive terminal. Also I can't find your link to ordering the ETB. My local Ford dealer has one for $173. I'm guessing that's about right. Please let me know if there is a better alternative. Thanks!!!
Any update? Same issue with my truck
Same issue with my 2013 Taurus
How’s it holding up I have the same issue right now guess I’ll buy the throttle body but I think the gasket links are switched can you confirm for me
Holding up great. No issues since Replacement. Ford has many different part numbers for the same gasket. I called a local dealer to verify. Link has been corrected. Sorry for the confusion
will the throttle body cause the car to shake wehn parked in a red light for a long time? 2014 ford explorer . only wehn in an idle state.. runs great.. i cleaned the throttle body and still does the same thing...
spark plugs were repalced
Same issue with the 5.0?
Birds are like, “Hey Aaron is making a CZcams video”!
haha!!
I don't see the links you mentioned for the TSB and the source for the OEM throttle body.
You will need to open the description of the video. And it’s at the bottom. Most likely an arrow you can click on.
Hi Aaron, this is the second time I've had the issue. The first time the dealer nailed me for $600. This time I found your channel. The truck "limped" back home however after a few hours I checked it and limp mode is off but the check engine light is still on. The truck runs ok. Should I replace the throttle body anyway? and how do I get the check engine light off?
Gordon Goodrich have you fix ur issue? My 04 f150 is throwing a wrench light with check engine light. It will start and run but on limp mode.
I have experienced the same thing with check engine light. After driving while the check engine light went out on it's own. Might give it a day or so of driving before check engine light goes out
Yes - it seems like any debris sensed in the throttle body will throw a code even if it clears the debris quickly - I reset the code with a cheap code reader I bought on amazon and it’s been fine but I do not trust it - good idea to carry a new OEM throttle body and the three tools it takes to replace it - it only take 1/2 hr on mine - I am Kinda pissed off the Ford is not standing behind this fragile component
@@Genuine048 i disconnected the neg batt cable - but here I am again with same problem - this is frustrating!!
Got the same issue on my Ford Fusion 2013
Did this solve your issue?
when you reset the KAM - does it remove any TSB bulletin fixes that that dealer has applied?
No, those will stay saved
@@AaronHinesAuto thanks
When i click on the link for the gasket, it says it doesn't fit my 2013 f150 EcoBoost, is this the right one??? Also that throttle body in the link is the you used right? Hows it holding up so far??? I have no codes, or cel. But the truck recently started getting a rough (shaking idle) and theres a p2111 code in the freeze frame with the obd2 reader :/
thanks for catching that. did some digging and looks like 2011-2014 takes a different gasket. same throttle body but different gasket. i have updated the links in the description to include the 2011-2014 gasket. sorry about that. and the throttle body is holding up great. about 3k miles on the truck so far and no issues
I had this issue. I’d drive down the road and the wrench icon would pop up and lost throttle. When I put it in part the idle was pretty rough but just like everyone says just turn it off and start it back up. There’s no specific pattern to when it stops throttle. I haul a trailer and it seems to do it quicker while hauling. Didn’t even bother going to the ford dealership just did my research and I replaced the throttle body about 2 hours ago. Drove around with/out y trailer, seemed just fine. I also cleaned my MAS. I’ll update in a week. (13’ F-150 xlt Ecoboost. 173,xxx and stills runs and tows like a champ.)

I'm having the same problem with my 2016 f150 5.0, no codes though. It doesn't stall but will have a difficult start and then will not accelerate once I'm driving. These symptoms go away after a 5-10 minutes. after that it seems to only happen after hard acceleration. Any thoughts?
Mine likes to fail on the Interstate with mild uphill acceleration and when trying to merge
I got the throttle body from Pollard Ford for $131 and gasket for $6
Does anyone know if this problem will occur with no cel? Mines a 3.7f150. I’ve had my truck for over 2 years now and have always felt like the throttle control was slightly erratic, and it seems to have a dead feeling if I am at a stop and need to accelerate quickly, kind of like floor it, 2 seconds of crawling forward then the engine comes alive. It’s also at times better than others and then worse. I actually have headers and a custom tune on the truck with the throttle control parameters maxed out to full aggressive, and at times it seems slightly better, other times it’s like when I first got the truck. Since I bought the truck it’s been like this, so I have no way of knowing if this is just how the truck is, or if there is an issue. I will say this, my truck has 3.73 gears, I drove a truck with the 3.7 and 3.55s, and it accelerated better. Any input would be much appreciated!
What you describe, lack/less power for a second at green light, sometimes very responsive immediately, sometimes not, that is turbo lag.
Jason W I appreciate the response, but my truck is not turbocharged. I did however fix my issue, it turned out to be a failure in the knock sensor circuit. My truck was essentially in limp mode for the 2 years I’ve owned it. The code was not triggering a cel, nor was I able to read it with a generic code reader.
@@treystoys that is a bad failure mode, sorry to hear something like that would happen with a modern ecm.
Can you erase the code with out the scanner I have the same problem just got the part today but I need to know if can replace the part and how to erase the code without the scanner
U figure this out ? Same problem ...
@@swagmastermike update?
you did not give the link for where to get the part...
I’ve had my 13 F150 throttle body replaced twice so far and am pretty sure it’s about to fail again. I’m around 150k miles and it seems to happen about every 2 years. Do you think that purchasing an after market one that’s a little beefier would be better?
I just watched a TFL “height mileage” eco boost vs coyote v8 video and the eco boost guy said “these go through ETB’s like a fat kid eats cake” and is on his 7th swap out at 230k miles.
czcams.com/video/puIOVttzpIo/video.html
@@decoste888 I bought an aftermarket one. Was like 5 bills. Hopefully it lasts longer.
on clearing the memory, could you just place the negative cable against the positive instead of buying a short jumper?
I just changed my Throttle body and it worked but I hear a crank noise when I step on the accelerator
this just happened to me except my truck woudnt turn back on and i had to get towed
Now truck won’t start at all after replacing it?
Does the engine crank over?
couldnt make a left as loss power and 0 accel, had to turn suv off then on and was able to make left on next green arrow. Very dangerous, looks like the time has passed on the recall also on the throttle body. Need to bring it into ford to fix the steering bolt recall too smh junk
WHY FORD will my Toyota throttle body units go 500,000 miles and yours maybe 40,000 ? Real fun going into limp mode on an LA Freeway out of the blue!
Since it’s a TSB does that mean ford will cover the cost to replace it? Since you say to replace it with OEM, will it happen again or have they changed it? Thanks for the video
No. Ford will not cover it unless it is a recall. You can check with your local dealer to see if it is a recall for your truck. A tsb is a technicians service Bulletin. Just means that ford knows it’s a common issue and what’s for rd techs to know about it.
I have a 2015 with the 3.5. Can you post a link for the gasket I need?
ford about to charge me $1200 to do this simple shit!!
My 2015 3.5l ecoboost was the biggest pile of junk I've ever owned and I've owned an 05 gto. If the truck wasn't in the shop broke it was in there for a recall. Never got to actually drive it. TB went out at 55k miles $480 at the dealership they paid since I had the truck less than a week. Same exact thing started happening at 106k. It will leave you stranded. $80 TB off Amazon and 20 minutes labor, traded it off the next day. Had warped exhaust manifolds, never got the quote to fix that common issue. Will NEVER own another Ford
This is very ridiculous that this even happens. What a cheap freaking part Ford uses!
