What are the components of a throttle body?

[VanChristopher]

Throttle bodies generally consist of three parts: the actuator, throttle plate, and throttle position sensor. Additional information about throttle bodies is as follows: 1. A throttle body is a valve that controls the amount of air entering the engine. It is a circular steel plate with a central shaft connected to the throttle cable, which controls it. It is a component of the engine's intake system. 2. Carbon deposits can accumulate in the throttle body during use. Excessive carbon buildup can cause unstable idling in the vehicle, requiring regular cleaning. When cleaning, use carburetor cleaner or alcohol.
