I don't know about programing, but it looks like plug and play to me. Google the part # and you should find a ford p/n, hope this helps you. BTW, the part # for the 4.2 is different.

Many questions about the TP sensor has come up the past couple weeks. I really can't imagine them going bad. TB problems maybe, but I think we are sooting in the dark.

 

Like I said earlier no.

There is a throttle position sensor for the 5.4l, 4.6l, and the 4.2l and they NOT interchangable.
