do you think its ok? i mean it runs great now

 

Sure, it's fine, you just tripped a code in the computer that told you you had a problem. That code stays there until it's cleared, even though what caused it is fixed.

 

alrite. thanks i realy appreciate that bluejay!!!! thanks allot

 

i will get the code cleared 2maro!!

 

Did this tonight and it took all of 5 minutes. Thanks for the write up!

 

did mine yesterday, only takes 5 mins.

 

Would this be the same "how to" for an '06 model 5.4L?

 

Yes

 

Great write-up! My truck has been idling a little rough here and there lately so I though I would give this a try. It took me about 5 minutes to do...

My truck now runs like it just came from the factory. (smooth) I even think it is shifting better. I might try cleaning out the throttle body next...

 

Yeah, I did mine the same day I made that last post ^^^ and now my truck idles like it should. Nice write up. Thanks guys!

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks for the article Bluejay!!! I did mine today...took me 15 minutes because I waited to make sure the MAF was completely dry before re-installing it. This made a huge difference, now it seems like my truck runs a lot smother and the shaking while in drive at a stop is very minimal unlike before. I guess you guys call this rough idle...well my rough idle is no longer rough. Im new to this forum and a recently first time owner of these types of trucks. I purchased my 2005 F-150 XLT 5.4 Triton two weeks ago with 88,000 miles, clean title, from the 1st original owner. I guess this guy paid $40,000 plus back in 2005 for this truck. The truck came with a 6" lift right out of a San Diego Ford show room. Kelly Blue Book private sale is $13,500 and I scooped it up for about almost $5,000 bellow KBB. What a deal! I couldn't pass on it. I always wanted a lifted truck. I love this truck guys!

 

Sounds like you picked up a nice truck for a good price. Glad the insturtions helped and now you may want to clean the throttle body. I bet that will help too, if it has not been done. Welcome to the site!

 

My truck has 108k miles and I don't think the MAF had ever been cleaned before. It had been running a little rough so I decided to follow your write up and wow what a difference. She runs like a whole new truck now. Throttle body cleaning and changing the fuel filter are next on my list. Thanks for the how to

 

T15 is definitely too big for my 2006 model....now i gotta go get another size
