OK, I'm getting to the end of my rope with this car. Got an orange wrench light the other morning when I started the car and trying to drive it ran terrible. Wasn't shifting right, big clunks stopping, etc. Took to a friend who owns a transmission shop and the code was for the throttle body. He reset it and it's worked ok since, but performance seems a little bogged down. He said I may have to replace the whole throttle body assembly which isn't a big deal if that's the case, but after speaking with the Ford guy when I was looking to order it he said often times a vacuum leak is the ultimate issue. So that brings me to my question, how do I know if it's a vacuum leak before I shell out $300 on a new throttle body? I am not familiar with the location of the vacuum lines on the explorer.
