2006 mustang Throttle Body ?
Hello,
first of all I hope I am posting in the right section. I have a 2005 ford mustang 4.0 V6 automatic pony package, flood edition lol. (passenger side always floods when it rains lol). anyways, I know my Throttle body is bad, ive been told by many mechanics, including FORD. I replaced the TPS and it helped a little. I am hearing a weird humming noise at 800-1000 RPM. I really dont think its an air leak. Ive tried looking for one. never found it. I need a new Throttle body and I need your guys gearhead expertise on which one I should buy. Can you please give me advise on a throttle body? maybe a link? I am hoping I can just bold on and switch my still new TPS and start her up. Is this true or will I have to do special stuff to the throttle body. Just as an FYI i have already tried MAF cleaner. Please help peeps.
Thanks,
Dude

Convertable?
I would go with an OEM in your situation. I wouldn't put an after-market one. The TPS comes separately from the throttle body. Sounds to me that there's more to it though. I would check the resistance at the TPS. There may be some corrosion.
For water leaks there are different places I'm thinking of.

The GT throttle body won't fit the V6. (can't put the oval throttle body on the circle without a leak!)
And the 2005 model year didn't have a Pony package by the way OP.
You can get a Jerry Stranigan port and polish throttle body off ebay or by contacting him directly. It uses all the stock hardware so it doesn't have the issues some of the aftermarket ones do. I don't know if he has any on ebay at the moment. Usually he sells them with no electronics so your new stuff can be put on the PNP from him.

If you do decide to go with an aftermarket TB this will have to be done...

As mentioned, a stock throttle body will be your best replacement.
I have a stock 2006 v6 throttle body for sale, similar to the shown for the GT in the pics, but for a V6. $80 shipped, complete, with TP sensor and motor control. (the one shown in the pics above do not have those attached.)

The TB I have is from a 2006 motor, and i dont think is uses the heated TB. Yes he'd need to bypass the heater line, but thats simple enough to do and something you'd want to do anyways. It's a free 'upgrade', lol.
