I don't have a solution for your problem, you may try after market parts or used parts. What I can tell you is that you are not alone. I am still waiting for the throttle assy and now they say it will come at the end of January. In the mean time I was able to convince FORD to pay for a rental until the part arrives.

just wondering if you've been able to get your throttle assy. I have a 05 F150 that went down this morning. I was told Feb 25th more that likely March 8th "possibly" Quality is job one?

I hope you were able to get the throttle body assembly. I have a 2005 F150 that went down this morning. My mechanic, who left the Ford dealer I purchased the truck from, called me to let me know the part in on national back order and won't be available until March 8th.
