2005 5.4L V8 Throttle Body sticking...
Hi guys/gals,
I've had an issue w/ the trottle body sticking in my 2005 5.4L V8 the last couple of winters. Today in Chicagoland is approx 13*.
In the midst of a drive to work (45 mins), when my Edge receives 4 throttle body codes. Don't recall the actual numbers, but it states that TB sensor circuit failure, TB stuck open, TB stuck closed, TB forced open. In the past, I have replaced my drop-in K&N w/ typical paper filter and removed/cleaned the TB with WD-40. Removed/Cleaned MAF sensor as well. Runs perfect after that.
Now, with the temp is dropping, I recently entered "wrench mode" 3x during a 20 minute drive. I do have remote start and typically run it for 10 mins prior to driving to warm up.
Ironically enought, I picked up a spare TB just last week (awaiting delivery) because I figured this issue may return.
I have perfomed the GOTTs mod using the "factory" Edge tunes - but I don't see this as an issue since I have experienced this prior to the mod.
Does anyone have an idea on what could be causing this? Once received, I plan to install the replacement TB and install the paper filter - or would this be changing too many variables? Just trying to determine if the TB or cold temp is the culprit.

Worst case, I have the backup one coming...
