Cardone 67-6002 Fuel Injection Throttle Body

Remanufactured Electronic Throttle Body for Escape and Mariner

The Cardone Fuel Injection Throttle Body 67-6002 is a remanufactured electronic throttle body for select 2005-2008 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner models. It is built to restore throttle response, airflow control, and OE-style fitment for vehicles using electronic throttle management.

Cardone’s Fuel Injection Throttle Body line focuses on remanufactured OE replacement components that are disassembled, inspected, renewed, and tested to meet application-specific requirements.

Key Features

• Remanufactured Original Equipment-style throttle body for a direct vehicle fit
• Electronic throttle body with integrated throttle position sensor
• Round inlet and outlet shape with black plastic housing
• Specialized cleaning process helps preserve throttle bore surface geometry for consistent airflow
• High and low integrated throttle position sensors are tested across the operating range
• Final assemblies are tested for response time and airflow at multiple points
• Package includes the electronic throttle body and instruction sheet

Detailed Description

Part number 67-6002 is a remanufactured Cardone electronic throttle body engineered for 2005-2008 Ford Escape and 2005-2008 Mercury Mariner applications. It regulates incoming air through commands from the vehicle’s control module and is used in systems that manage idle quality, acceleration, cruise control, traction control, stability control, and other torque-management functions. This part cross-references Ford 5L8Z9E926AB for the same application.

Each unit is fully disassembled, inspected, and renewed or replaced as needed. Cardone uses an ultrasonic cleaning process with rust-inhibiting detergent on the plate and bore, plus glass bead blasting on the exterior, to help maintain proper airflow characteristics. The throttle position sensors are checked to match OE behavior throughout the operating range, and the completed assembly is verified for critical functions before release.

What It Can Help Resolve

• Throttle response delay or inconsistent acceleration
• Illuminated MIL, SES, or CEL related to throttle body faults
• Fail-safe or reduced-power operation caused by throttle control errors
• Idle instability tied to electronic throttle body wear
• Airflow irregularities from worn sensors, gears, seals, or connectors

Installation Notes

Fits 2005-2008 Ford Escape and 2005-2008 Mercury Mariner. A relearn calibration procedure is necessary after installation of the replacement throttle body, and the vehicle service manual should be consulted during setup. Do not bypass the coolant hoses unless the OE application specifically calls for rerouting instructions. Swapping to a larger-bore throttle body is not recommended because this unit is built for the original application.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this throttle body through a controlled inspection and renewal process that replaces or restores worn components such as sensors, gears, connectors, and seals as needed. The finished assembly is tested for response time, airflow, and sensor performance to support reliable operation in the intended Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner applications.
