Lincoln 7T4Z-9E926-EA Throttle Body And Motor Assy

Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Remove the air intake duct. On four-cylinder models, loosen the clamps and remove the charge air cooler outlet pipe from the throttle body, then remove the upper charge air cooler outlet tube. Disconnect the electrical connector from the throttle body. Remove the throttle body mounting fasteners and detach the throttle body from the intake manifold, discarding the old gasket and replacing it with a new one. Cover the intake manifold opening with a clean shop towel. Installation is the reverse of removal; use a new gasket and tighten the throttle body fasteners to the specified torque.

Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. Remove the air intake duct. On 2.0L and 2.7L models, loosen the clamp and remove the charge air cooler pipe from the throttle body. On 3.5L and 3.7L models, remove the air intake tube, then disconnect the fuel vapor line retainer from the side of the throttle body. Unlock the red locking tab and disconnect the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) electrical connector from the throttle body. Remove the throttle body mounting fasteners and detach the throttle body from the intake manifold. Discard the gasket and replace it with a new one. Cover the intake manifold opening with a clean shop towel. Installation is the reverse of removal. Use a new gasket and tighten the throttle body fasteners to the torque.

For V6 models and 4.6L and 5.0L V8 models, begin by removing the air intake duct, then disconnect the electronic throttle control electrical connector from the throttle body. Next, take out the four throttle body mounting bolts and remove the throttle body. After that, remove the old throttle body gasket, inspecting its condition; if damaged, replace it, otherwise, it can be reused. Installation follows the reverse order of removal, ensuring a new gasket is used if necessary, and tighten the throttle body mounting bolts to the specified torque. For 5.4L and 6.2L V8 models, also remove the air intake duct and, for 5.4L models, the air filter housing. On 2009 and later models, take off the clamp and mounting bolt to remove the intake resonator, followed by the four adapter mounting bolts to detach the air intake duct-to-throttle body adapter. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the throttle body, which include the electronic throttle control connector and the Throttle Position (TP) sensor connector; slide out the lock toward the harness, then depress the release tab to pull off the connector. Remove the throttle body mounting bolts and take out the throttle body. Discard the old throttle body O-ring seal and always use a new one during installation, tightening the throttle body mounting bolts to the specified torque.

Use a new gasket and tighten the throttle body fasteners to the torque.
