Throttle body

[JSterling]

After my explorer sat over night, I would notice the throttle body sticking when I starting it up and backed out of the garage. After this, I didn't notice anything until the next morning. The throttle body recall came out and I took it into the dealership to be fixed. My question is this ... I used to get about 345-60 miles/tank, but since the throttle body was replaced, I'm only getting about 300 miles/tank. Anyone has any ideas why this is?

Thanks in advance.

I would also be intrested to have an answer to this question. I did not drop much in MPG, but some.

The answer is simple, chances are that your throttle timing was altered or not properly adjusted. The truck should idle at approximately 500 rpms. You were probably along this line before and now could be idling at a higher rpm. You can adjust it by turning the throttle body "stop pin."
