Stock airbox question?

My 2010 5.4l f-150 has poor acceleration. I decided to clean the Throttle body and noticed the stock airbox just sat on throttle body kinda loose, I didn’t have to pry it off or undo any hose clamp. Is that normal or is it missing a gasket or hose clamp? If it’s not getting a tight seal and sucking in excess air post the MAF it could be the reason for the poor acceleration. Any body know if that’s how it normally attaches to the throttle body?

Yes there should be a clamp holding it to the throttle body.

You can see here it doesn’t look like it’s seated all the way down to throttle body. I tried shoving it on more but it seems to be bottomed out.

Exclamation

+1 - There should, needs-to, be a clamp to seal the intake tube to the throttle body.

Either order a clamp from Ford or buy a hose clamp at the hardware store.

Update, installed a hose clamp and truck runs great now! Not sure if it was missing or never had one but it wasn’t getting airtight seal and it made my truck run like crap!
