The Dorman 977-173 is designed for electronic throttle control systems and includes the throttle position sensor for a more complete service part. This part cross-references Standard Ignition S20238 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt from aluminum with a natural housing finish, this throttle body is intended for gas fuel systems and uses a 6-terminal male electrical connection. The OE FIX design addresses a common failure point in original throttle bodies by adding sealing protection around the shaft area, helping keep internal electronics cleaner over time. If you are replacing a worn throttle body on a Ford F-150, Mustang, or Super Duty application, Dorman 977-173 provides the core hardware needed for a proper electronic throttle service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues This Part Can Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrottle response problems caused by a failing electronic throttle body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck engine lights related to throttle position or throttle control faults\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRough idle or unstable engine speed from throttle plate contamination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveability issues tied to moisture or oil intrusion in throttle electronics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirflow restriction from a worn or sticking throttle plate assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify connector style, bore size, and vehicle calibration before installation. The gasket is included, but installation hardware is not. After replacement, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s relearn or idle adaptation procedure if required for the Ford F-150, Mustang, Super Duty, or E-350 Super Duty application. Confirm the throttle body mounting surface is clean and free of carbon buildup before installing the new unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorman designs OE FIX components to address known failure points in original parts while maintaining standard replacement fit and function. The Sensor Shield sealing strategy and integrated sensor design support long-term service in contamination-prone throttle body locations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dorman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52808179024053,"sku":"BKKY-977-173","price":264.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/RB_977173_FRO.jpg?v=1784180315","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/dorman-977-173-fuel-injection-throttle-body","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
