How to Remove the Third-Generation EA888 Throttle Body?

[SanEmilio]

Method for removing the third-generation EA888 throttle body: The throttle body is located below the sensor. First, remove the hose, then loosen and move aside one end of the throttle body before safely detaching it. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. It connects to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, serving as the throat of the automobile engine. There are two types of throttle bodies: traditional cable-operated and electronic. In traditional engines, the throttle mechanism operates via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage rod, connecting the accelerator pedal to the throttle linkage plate. Electronic throttle bodies primarily use throttle position sensors to adjust the opening angle based on the engine's energy requirements, thereby controlling the intake air volume.
