Hi all. Last night on my 2016 Ford Expedition motor quit. After restarting I was able to limp home, although it died once more in my driveway. I hooked up a scanner it noted that my throttle body is stuck closed. My question to you all is if I take it apart and clean it or replace it, am I good to go? Or does it need to be programed after?

I’m seeing a possibly related TSB for your truck. If you have a check engine light & P2111,2112, or 2119 diagnostic codes, be sure to read what it says before removing the throttle body.
