Default Re: Dead Band ON Throttle

The 05 & up are quite complicated with the drive-by-wire controls. Most owner level software is not going to get you in to the electronic throttle control functions because of its complexity. The feed forward & feed back management of ETC is difficult to tune and even more difficult to find in-depth information on. Even at the professional level, its hard to find advanced learning materials on the logic employed.

That being said, I am not aware of any TSB's or recalls for the 07 in terms of ETC issues. There was a TSB on the 05's that called for replacing the TPS and loading a new computer calibration. What you describe would seem to be more of a mechanical issue and not a programming issue. I'd get back with your dealer on the problem and if they are unwilling to help with or solve the problems then find another dealer and also call Ford customer service to log your issue as an official warranty complaint.
