On my 2001 4.6L, when you remove the decorative cover, it's on top of the throttle body. 2 bolts, and 1 plug.

It's IAC - Idle Air Control valve.

It helps regulate the amount of air entering the engine at idle.

No problem.

Mine was making an intermittent hum at idle, even thought the truck idled fine. Was just annoying. I cleaned it, and it did great for a day, then hummed all the time when slowing down close to idle, and at idle. Replaced it, and all is good.
