This has been a common issue for years now but I just had one in the other day as they seem to be acting up again with the cold winter this year. While it is only 2 screws Ford went and locked them in there good with too much Loctite. So if you find yourself replacing one please watch my video on how to remove it so you don't snap off the screw in there then it gets ugly from there. This applies to any engine or model that has this type of replaceable sensor on it with the early Ford Electronic Throttle Body systems.

first let me say your video's are awesome love watching them and thank you for all that you do. i have a 2007 ford explorer 4.0 v6 with a CEL code p2135 book says throttle position sensor, however, the throttle position sensor on this model engine is not attached to the throttle body itself what would you recommend that i do to troubleshoot this code? could it be that the pcm software needs to be updated?
i searched your videos and did not find anything that could help me thank you in advance.
