What Are the Common Types of Throttle Bodies?

[Evangeline]

There are two types of throttle bodies: traditional cable-operated and electronic throttle bodies. Below is an introduction to both traditional cable-operated and electronic throttle bodies: Traditional Cable-Operated Throttle Body: The traditional engine throttle control mechanism operates via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage rod, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other end connected to the throttle linkage plate. Electronic Throttle Body: The electronic throttle body primarily uses a throttle position sensor and a throttle motor to control the opening angle of the throttle, thereby regulating the amount of air intake. There are four types of electronic throttle bodies: electro-hydraulic, linear solenoid, stepper motor, and DC servo motor.
