What Causes Oil in the Car Throttle Body?
1 Answers
Car throttle body having oil is caused by the engine's exhaust gas recirculation being directed into the intake manifold. The car throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to produce power. It is one of the key components in an electronic fuel injection engine system. Throttle bodies are categorized into: 1. Traditional engine throttle bodies, which operate via a cable or linkage mechanism connecting the accelerator pedal to the throttle linkage plate; 2. Electronic throttle bodies, which use a throttle position sensor to adjust the throttle opening angle based on the engine's power demand, thereby regulating the amount of air intake.
