About the Cardone Fuel Injection Throttle Body Product Line

The Cardone Fuel Injection Throttle Body line focuses on delivering reliable replacement throttle bodies that meet or exceed original equipment specifications. Each unit undergoes thorough inspection and ultrasonic cleaning with rust-inhibiting detergents to ensure proper function. This product line emphasizes restoring throttle body performance by replacing worn or damaged components, including position sensors calibrated to match OE characteristics.

Detailed Product Description

This electronic throttle body is a powertrain component responsible for controlling the throttle valve's position, which regulates the amount of air entering the engine. The aluminum housing provides durability and heat resistance, while the gray unfinished finish is consistent with OEM parts. The throttle body does not include an idle air control motor, as the electronic system manages idle air bypass. The attached coolant hoses on the OE throttle body help maintain proper temperature to prevent icing, but bypassing these hoses is not recommended. Position sensors are tested to ensure they match original equipment performance throughout the product's lifespan.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Restores proper throttle response and engine idle control in Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer
• Resolves electronic throttle body failure symptoms such as rough idle or stalling
• Addresses issues caused by internal component wear or sensor malfunction
• Eliminates throttle valve sticking or inconsistent throttle opening
• Supports cruise control functionality by maintaining accurate throttle positioning

Installation Notes and Tips

After installing the Cardone 67-1006 throttle body, a relearn calibration procedure is necessary to ensure the vehicle's powertrain control module correctly adapts to the new component. It is important not to bypass the coolant hoses attached to the throttle body, as they prevent icing in cold conditions. Cleaning should be performed using ultrasonic cleaning systems with rust-inhibiting detergents to avoid damage. Testing position sensors before installation helps verify proper operation. Throttle body spacers are not recommended or sold by Cardone for this application.
