Hello
I noticed coolant spraying onto the engine. Took to local mechanic who found coolant coming from what they thought was a freeze plug on the throttle body They say they cannot get a new or used throttle body for replacement but will "work on it" OR can install a used throttle body from a different size [larger] engine.
Local Ford dealer said they don't don't replace throttle bodies for this engine.
Please advise?
Thanks
Joe

Why dont they replace them? I have had to for being worn out and for coolant erosion. Have you seen where the leak is for yourself? Might want to just so you can explain to the Ford parts guy what it is you need, I dont recall there being a freeze plug on the throttle body, and if there is, it should be serviceable
