What Causes Engine Jerking After Throttle Body Cleaning?

[DelAliyah]

Engine jerking after throttle body cleaning is a normal phenomenon. It will return to normal after initialization and a period of use. Below are specific details about the throttle body: 1. Definition: The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine. The incoming air mixes with fuel in the intake manifold to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. Connected to the air filter upstream and the engine block downstream, it's often referred to as the "throat" of an automobile engine. 2. Types: There are two main types - traditional cable-operated throttle bodies and electronic throttle bodies. In conventional engines, the throttle mechanism operates via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage rod, connecting the accelerator pedal to the throttle linkage plate. Electronic throttle bodies primarily use throttle position sensors to adjust the throttle opening angle based on engine power demand, thereby regulating the air intake volume.
