As far as I know, it is. I think only the 2004-2005 3V 5.4L engines have the "lean" problem.

You want to talk shame? Back in the 70s, I bought one of those "fuel atomizer" thingies that you spliced into the gas line. It kind of had the same "do nothing" (but lighten my wallet) results! :o

After many months after taking out my throttle body spacer i believe i may have been wrong. My gas mileage used to sit around 18 with the spacer now i am only getting 16 =( or could it just be something else could be causing problems?

Who the heck knows? I can't really see how a spacer would do ANYTHING in a fuel injected vehicle. I suppose my next step would be to reinstall it to see if your mileage went up again. And if it did, maybe we ALL ought to get one!
