How Many Types of Throttle Bodies Are There?
1 Answers
There are two types of throttle bodies: the traditional cable-operated type and the electronic throttle body. Below is relevant information about throttle bodies: 1. Introduction: 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 generate power. Connected to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, it is often referred to as the 'throat' of the car engine. The responsiveness of the vehicle's acceleration is closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle body. Cleaning the throttle body can reduce fuel consumption and make the engine more responsive and powerful. 2. Cleaning Method: The throttle body can be cleaned without disassembly, but it is essential to thoroughly clean the intake sealing areas. However, the idle air control valve must be removed to be cleaned properly, preventing any unnecessary waste.
