Detailed Description

This Dorman 977-328 throttle body is engineered for drivers replacing a failed electronic throttle body on select Ford and Lincoln vehicles. The OE FIX design uses a shaft seal to help protect the internal electronics from moisture and oil contamination, a known cause of throttle body failure. It is a practical replacement for vehicles such as the Ford Edge, Ford Explorer, Ford F-150, Ford Mustang, and Lincoln MKX where throttle response and idle control depend on accurate airflow management.

This part cross-references Hitachi Automotive ETB0044 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Help Solve

• Rough or unstable idle caused by throttle body electronic faults
• Throttle response issues from a worn or contaminated throttle body
• Check engine light conditions related to throttle position or airflow control
• Driveability problems linked to moisture or oil intrusion in the throttle body electronics
• Replacement needs after original equipment throttle body failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and engine application before installation. This throttle body is not adjustable and is not throttle body mounted. Installation hardware is not included, so reuse or source the required fasteners as needed. After installation, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s relearn or idle calibration procedure if required.
