2010 Ford Escape - Throttle Body Mounting Gasket

Ford Escape Throttle Body Mounting Gasket

The throttle body gasket on your Ford Escape helps prevent air leaks between the throttle body and the intake or intake plenum. Due to pressure and heat, the throttle body gasket may deteriorate and wear out over time. This may lead to debris entering the engine, and damaging internal parts of the engine. If your Ford Escape is experiencing poor acceleration or high idle, you may have a failing throttle body gasket, as a leaking throttle body gasket can also result in unmetered air entering the engine. When too much air mixes with fuel it can create a lean fuel mixture, which can cause performance problems, and long-term may result in burnt pistons and rings or complete engine failure. Don't forget to replace the throttle body gasket any time you repair or replace your Escape's throttle body.
