Installed ford racing oil-air separator, need help!

[Schwerin]

Here’s one. Another option to save some cash is to make a thread asking if anyone has a 2018+ GT350 throttle body for sale.

You need a Bullitt TB not a GT350. Different actuators. Bullitt's is Digital, GT350 is analog. I'd bet the Mach1 uses the Bullitt's newer style. OEM part number for a Bullitt is KR3Z-9E926-A

You‘ve got me on that one Schwerin. I‘m surprised they would change the tab between the GT350, Bullitt and Mach 1, but hey, you might be 8 to something there.

thats the same part number that comes up for the mach 1 so nice to know they use the same one

I run the ctek, not the ford branded one and it works well. They have a cigarette lighter adapter that you can use to plug into the car and not have to hook it up directly to the battery.

That one linked shows the lithium battery version, which is odd since the 5.0 uses lead acid.

in the description it mentions.........

• AGM and EFB battery charging capability to include all 12V lead-acid batteries

are you seeing something else i missed? maybe i linked the wrong one. i just did a quick search and liked the idea of a ford product. do you like the ctek one you have? do you know is that who makes the ford one?

No no, the description does indeed say that. It's just a picture of the ctek lithium charger (I have one of those for my other cars as well).

Also, I've found these chargers only last for a few years before the "mode" button on the front breaks and you have to buy another one. They work well, but their lifespan isn't long. The problem is I've yet to find a higher quality charger.

Looks like Ford is re-branding this one but using the previous model:

funny you guys mention that. as simple as the install is, i looked on youtube but couldn't find anything. the only videos i found were for the gt350 or pre 18 mustang gt which are different. i guess i should have filmed it and posted it on youtube..........a video of apparently what not to do lol

I found this one. Hope it helps! fast forward to about 1 min. mark.

do you know the difference between the two? is it only a part number? thanks

According to the Ford Performance Parts website it is the same. It lists it as original equipment for the Bullitt. I believe it is just a separate part number for people to buy with the Ford Performance manifold and with the power packs.

A little update on my car……….
New throttle body assy is in courtesy of ford. Dealer looked at it and the service writer had the tech talk to me about it. Conclusion was it was likely broken or severely weakened before I ever got to it. Took a few days to get the part in which is not bad considering all of the supply issues!

I tried! The tech was going to think about a way to obtain one and let me know next time I go in. I have another appointment on sept 16th for a cold start chirp coming from one of the pulleys that I can’t narrow down which one it is. Hopefully he just takes one off of a car on the lot and problem is solved lol

Makes sense considering how easy it came apart. Like I said I have swapped out a few and never encountered this.

As far as the chirp, I think I remember my 08 ford fusion having this issue with one of the pulleys too. It was easy troubleshooting with the auto as I would hold the brake and give it a little gas to reproduce. That car didn't have enough power to move so it was quite easy.

Check your messages I sent you a clip of the noise

I have that on one of my old trucks, it is the alternator itself, not really the pulley. or rather, the alternator is supplying too much resistance at immediate startup so the belt slips over the pulley for a split second.

It seems to last for a couple min on mine until it’s warmed up then the motor sounds normal.
