Car is long gone. I don't think it was a cleanliness issue - drove another at the dealer and it did exactly the same thing. But thanks for your input. There's a long hill on my way home from work. If I left the Avi in gear with no throttle, by the bottom we would be going 90 mph. The more...

2003 Navigator Have a 2003 Navigator at just over 53,000 miles. No troubles at all. Mileage is 13 ish in the city and 17 or 18 on the highway. Gotta keep the air pressure up in the tires to get the best mileage. Had FORD run the service history and there's not much been done to the truck...

2003 Navigator Ultimite Bought a 45K 2003 with everything but Navigation (which I miss) for $14,000 from a L/M dealer a few months back. Prices were real low then but seems are recovering a bit.

Made the Switch Old post but I wanted to update. Did trade in my 2004 Aviator for a 2003 Navigator. Cost a few $$$ but what a difference. When I lift off the gas, the throttle closes and the engine slows to idle - IMMEDIATELY !!! Love the truck. Funny, I am getting about 1MPG more...

Welcome to the forum. Nice color combination, I have the same in my 04 Aviator. How's your mileage on good ole gasoline? I'm trading my Aviator for a 04 Navigator. Aviator gets 15.5 overall average and 20 on the highway.

Well, I'm just about out of ideas. Last week I went to my local Ford/LM dealer, put five $50.00 bills on the counter and offered it as a tip to any tech who could reconfigure my truck to release the throttle when I get off the gas. No takers so I am giving up. Drove a 2004 Navigator over...

It's hard to quantify how much unwanted throttle is being generated but on a very slight downward incline, the truck will not stop until the brakes are applied or it runs out of gas. In neutral (the only way to see), the tach will follow the vehicle speed up or down until the vehicle hits...

Good to hear somebody else has experienced the same phenoumenon (sp?). I still have yet to test drive a 2003/2004 Navigator to see if it's throttle also hangs up. If it doesn't might swap the Aviator and pay whatever it costs me. The only other thought I had was to wire up a switch to...

Does anybody else have the sticking throttle that my Aviator has? How about Navigator drivers? tks, George

Greetings - new to the board and need some help. Have 2004 Aviator that won't slow down when you release the throttle. The gremlin is most clearly seen if you shift into neutral on the highway and take your foot off the accelerator. The engine, instead of dropping to idle, holds the rpm...
