Random stalling thinking it's the fuel pressure sensor or the throttle body itself going to replace both, but cannot find the location of the throttle body.

Good afternoon,

The throttle body is a common failure for this.

Before you replace it, I would try cleaning the plate of all carbon as that is the reason for stalling.

High-pressure fuel may cause cuts and contact with hot fuel may cause burns. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.

This year model car has no throttle cable it's all driven electrically. I know how to do everything with cleaning throttle body and relearning the throttle position sensor with my computer diagnostic tool I just need to know where the location of the throttle body is on this particular vehicle. I followed the air hose tube are Boot and it goes from the driver side engine compartment all the way down to the passenger side on the back side of the engine. I cannot see exactly where the throttle body is located. If you could pinpoint that for me I would sure appreciate it. This car is not turbo it is just a 1.6 l EcoBoost.

It is buried down on the intake manifold.

Did you remove the top cover from the motor and follow the intake tube from the air filter?

Yes I did. The air tube runs down to the side of the bottom of the engine not underneath it but to the side. I guess I'll put it up on the lift and see if I could see it better from the bottom. Never seen one located there before but that's where the air tube ends. Thanks for all your help.
