  Gasket, Front Seal

• Description:

  This genuine Ford gasket seals the joint between the electronic throttle body and the intake manifold on the 3.5L and 3.7L DOHC V6, forming an airtight barrier so the engine draws only metered air through the throttle plate. Also referenced in the Ford catalog as a front seal, it maintains an even clamp load around the throttle bore to prevent unmetered air from entering downstream of the mass air flow sensor. When the original gasket hardens, tears or takes a set, it creates a vacuum leak, and drivers report a rough or high idle, hesitation, a lean-condition check engine light, throttle response problems and occasional stalling at stops. Replacing the gasket whenever the throttle body is removed for cleaning or service restores a proper seal and stable idle. Ford lists this piece under the throttle body mounting gasket callout, and it fits the 2007-2012 Edge and Lincoln MKX along with related 3.5L and 3.7L V6 models such as Flex, Fusion, Taurus, MKS, MKT, MKZ and Mercury Milan. During installation, clean both the throttle body and manifold sealing faces, set the new gasket squarely in place, and torque the throttle body fasteners evenly to Ford specification, then clear any codes and confirm a smooth, steady idle.
