In this video I take you along as I clean the electronic throttle body on my 2007 Ford Edge. While the vehicle in the video is an 07 Ford Edge the technique used to clean the throttle body can be used on, to my knowledge, all Ford electronic throttle bodies used on gas powered engines. I personally have cleaned Ford throttle bodies spanning many models and years using this technique with success. (Always verify this process can be used on your vehicle by using a repair manual suitable for your vehicle. While I have had success on a BUNCH of throttle body cleanings I cannot say that I have performed this on every year and model of Ford out there. There could be an exception I do not know about.)
Note: Disconnecting the negative battery cable and isolating it from the battery before starting this service can help prevent setting codes or accidentally cranking the engine.
Note: ONLY USE "THROTTLE BODY CLEANER" when cleaning throttle body. Read and understand the instructions and warnings on the bottle or can of throttle body cleaner. Follow instructions on bottle or can.
Warning!! As notated in the video... If you choose to clean the throttle body while it is still mounted to the intake use care to use small amounts of throttle body cleaner. Spraying excessive amounts of cleaner into the intake could flood the cylinders and possible hydrolock the engine causing engine damage.

Some people say that manually opening the flap by hand will destroy the TB. Whats the background on this myth?

It has been my experience that on Ford throttle bodies it's not a problem as long as they are disconnected electrically. (I have done bunches of Fords) Other makes however, I can't say that. I think that Nissans where a little sensitive to things like that though and possibly other makes too.

Will it not put on the check engine light ? Or will it not need re calibrarion using a code reading computer device when we clean it by removing from the engine.

Shouldn't. I've never had an issue. I've done a bunch.

I have the same edge. It is surging a bit at stop lights. About 300-500rpm difference from normal idle. I was thinking might be throttle body? Was this your issue or just decided to clean it?

I cleaned my as preventative maintenance..... and of course to make a youtube video. Did cleaning your throttle body resolve your issue?

As far as I am aware, Ford coat the throttle bodies with something "special". I'm not sure if this applies to all of them. Either way, I've been told that they shouldn't be cleaned with the same aggressive solvents that you'd normally use.
