Read that part about the sensor but didn't know if that included the throttle body itself.I said I replaced the Throttle Position Sensor above, I actually replaced the whole Throttle Body. Didn't change a thing.

Welcome to the Forum.Were the repairs made at a Ford dealership? If they were, you should be refunded all of your costs. It’s a Ford issue, and they should have communicated the details to all of their dealerships. I have a written statement from Ford that it’s a known issue.
We purchased a brand new 2017 explorer sport in Nov 2017, it currently has 9k miles on it. Almost immediately we started experiencing problems.ATTENTION: Fellow Explorer Owners, my wife’s Explorer has had the issue since we purchased it new. It has been at the dealership for repair many times, enough to qualify as a “Lemon”, being a retired quality engineer, I pressed the issue all the way to the Regional Factory customer relations manager. You’ll be amazed at what their excuse was. I have in writing that: “These observations reflect normal operation”, so if you have paid your dealer one penny to fix the issue, you have a case for fraud by both the dealership and Ford. If anyone is interested, I’ll post the complete response. We’re not finished with this issue.
I also have this same surging after warm starts. I don't think high humidity is a factor at all since I live in Orange County California where the humidity is very low. My altitude is 300' ASL. It only lasts about 10 seconds and then is OK. More of an annoyance than anything
I would love to see the letterI agree, but they said there was no fix, and we have to just live with it. The engineers plugged it into their diagnostic computer that had several screens of data and hundreds of data collection points, and that was their answer. My point is that apparently they know that there is a problem, but choose to do nothing about it. BTW, the technician did their best multiple times to try to fix the problem, kudos to them for their hard work, but it’s in the computer system. I’ll scan their letter and post it.
This is exactly what my 2018 does. Is there anything new on this issue?The behavior you describe is called "surging" and it happens when the engine is warm, just restarted, and driven at low speed (partial throttle). It happens to my Explorer while I'm running errands. For example, if I stop, turn off the engine, run into a store, then return and pull out of the parking lot.
I believe this surging is an Ecoboost characteristic and has to do with a temporary build-up of condensation inside the air intake tube caused by an efficient Charge Air Cooler (CAC). Once the condensation is purged, everything returns to normal.
Not that I'm aware of. Our 2017 has been doing this since new and for 6 years now. We just joke about "The Beast" doing the Herky Jerky every time it happens.This is exactly what my 2018 does. Is there anything new on this issue?
