What are the symptoms of a bad throttle cable?
1 Answers
There will be failure modes. The main failure modes of a throttle cable include sticking, breaking, wear, and damage. Below is relevant information about the vehicle throttle: 1. Function of the car throttle: The throttle in a gasoline engine does not control the fuel injection volume but rather the opening degree of the throttle valve. A smaller opening means less mixture enters the cylinder, resulting in lower engine power output, and vice versa. 2. Solutions for a heavy throttle: If the throttle feels heavy, you can perform a fuel system cleaning. Alternatively, try accelerating further to see if the engine speed increases but the vehicle speed does not. If this occurs, it may be due to a damaged sensor inside the transmission locking the overdrive gear.
