Should You Release the Throttle When Shifting Gears?
1 Answers
When shifting gears in a car, it is necessary to release the throttle. Here are specific details about the throttle: 1. Definition: The throttle, also known as the 'accelerator' or 'throttle valve,' is a control device that regulates the engine's power (thrust). 2. Working Principle: For gasoline engines, the throttle controls the opening of the throttle valve, affecting the engine's air intake. When the throttle is pressed, more fresh air enters, and the ECU increases the fuel injection accordingly, leading to greater combustion force and higher engine speed. 3. Causes of Abnormal Noises: Carbon buildup in the throttle valve; wear of the throttle pedal support pin; improper installation of the throttle cable.
