Can Cleaning the Throttle Body Reduce Fuel Consumption?
1 Answers
Cleaning the throttle body can reduce fuel consumption. Definition of Throttle Body: The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake manifold, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to produce work. It connects to the air filter on one end and the engine block on the other, often referred to as the "throat" of the car engine. The throttle body is one of the most critical components in modern fuel-injected engine systems. Definition of Fuel Consumption: Fuel consumption generally refers to the standardized fuel consumption rate. This rate is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained under specific test conditions as stipulated by national standards for certain types of vehicles.
