Good afternoon, new member here. I have had my f150 for a few months now. I need to install a PAS for work. I am wondering if anyone else has had to install one on the 3.0 yet and what your set up is like. I doubt anyone has already had a runaway but if you did can you share what happened?
Coming from the 6.7 there was two options 1) use the throttle plate with an aftermarket controller 2) install the PAS valve on the air intake. On the 3.0 there isnt any space to after the aftermarket PAS valve.
According to the Ford publication for the 3.0:
The throttle body is mounted on the intake
manifold and houses a servo- controlled flap, called
the throttle blade. The throttle body assembly has
the following functions:
• Meters the flow of air into the engine, under
all operating conditions
• Prevents serious engine judder when the
engine is stopped
• Throttling of the intake air during the DPF
regeneration process
The throttle blade is actuated by a DC motor.
Actuation is performed via Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM), which is controlled by the PCM/ECM. The
position of the throttle blade is monitored by a
Throttle Position (TP) sensor assembly. This sensor
is actually two sensors, each of which is a
potentiometer, in a single housing. The output
signals are analog voltage signals and are mirror
images of each other going in opposite directions.
The throttle blade closes on shutdown and then
remains closed for about 2 seconds before
reopening.
THANKS!
