- 2005 Explorer, Limited V8
I have a 2005 Explorer with th 4.6L V8 in it. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that you don't clean the throttle body on the drive by wire units using throttle/carb cleaner (not sure if it has to do with some "special coating/finish" on the inside of the throttle body).
Myth or fact?
If that is the case (not cleaning the throttle body), what is everyone doing? I can't believe that just because Ford has some "magic" coating/finish on the throttle body of the electronic throttle control that it doesn't get dirty (if that was the case, why not put that coating on all throttle bodies and you'd never have to clean them).
