What are the components of the intake system?

The intake system consists of an air filter, air flow meter, intake pressure sensor, throttle body, auxiliary air valve, idle control valve, resonance chamber, and power chamber. A complete intake system can be divided into two parts: the engine intake manifold system and the air intake system. The main functions of the intake system: To deliver clean, dry, sufficient, and stable air to the engine to meet its requirements, preventing impurities and large dust particles from entering the engine combustion chamber, which could cause abnormal engine wear. How the intake system works: When the engine is running, the driver controls the throttle opening via the accelerator pedal to adjust the intake volume and regulate engine operation. Air entering the engine passes through the air filter to remove dust and other impurities, then flows through the air flow meter, moves along the throttle passage into the power chamber, and is distributed to each cylinder via the intake manifold. During cold engine idling, some air bypasses the throttle through the auxiliary air valve or idle control valve and enters the cylinder. Benefits of cleaning the intake system: Effectively cleans and removes colloids and carbon deposits inside the nozzles, maintaining the cleanliness of the fuel system. Cleans the exhaust gas recirculation system, reduces emissions, saves fuel, and effectively protects the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter. Helps prevent symptoms such as explosions, unstable idling, and poor acceleration caused by colloids and carbon. Removes carbon deposits from the valve seats, lubricates the valves and valve guides, improves sealing, restores cylinder pressure, and enhances power. Cleans carbon deposits from the combustion chamber, lubricates the upper part of the cylinder, reduces piston ring wear, and extends service life.
