Fix P0505, P0506, hard start, rough idle

Ford has issued a service #12-7-4 to address trouble codes P0505, P0506, hard start, rough idle on the vehicles listed below. The vehicles may also store enhanced trouble codes P2111 and P2112 after the keep alive memory has been cleared, the battery has been disconnected or the vehicle has a dead battery.

On vehicles with over 10,000 miles the problems may be caused by sludge buildup in the electronic throttle body. That causes airflow to diminish to less than the desired level.

Start by updating the PCM software to the latest release

Then, with the vehicle in park or neutral and AC off, start the vehicle and let it warm up to operating temperature. Attach a scan tool and check the PID value for electronic throttle body. If the ETC_TRIM value is 3.0 degrees or greater, remove the throttle body and clean it with choke cleaner.

Spray the throttle body plate and bore. Then, using a small, soft, solvent resistant brush, clean the edges of the throttle plate and the mating surface of the throttle bore to remove all engine deposit build up. Clean the mating surface of the throttle bore.
