P161F fault code indicates Throttle Valve Actuator 2 - Position Self-Test Fault. Here is an introduction to throttle-related content: 1. Function: The throttle's role is to control air entering the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to produce work. 2. Principle: The principle of the throttle is that in traditional engines, the throttle control mechanism operates via a cable (flexible steel wire) or rod, connecting the accelerator pedal at one end and the throttle linkage plate at the other. Electronic throttles mainly use throttle position sensors to control the throttle opening angle based on the engine's required energy, thereby regulating the amount of air intake.

What is the fuel consumption of the Ford Transit 2.8t?

The following are some methods to reduce car fuel consumption: Enhance car maintenance: Car maintenance affects engine performance and driving resistance. According to statistics, poor maintenance can increase fuel consumption by 10% to 20%. Car owners should regularly go to car repair shops for routine maintenance, such as checking tire pressure, wheel alignment, adjusting the gap between brake friction pads and drums, lubricating various points on the car chassis, changing engine oil on schedule, and checking filters. Avoid sudden braking and acceleration: A smooth and steady driving style is the most fuel-efficient. During the starting phase, avoid stepping hard on the accelerator and accelerate smoothly. After reaching a certain speed, try to maintain a constant speed as much as possible. When driving in congested areas, also pay attention to the road conditions ahead to avoid sudden braking. This not only saves fuel but also extends the vehicle's service life.
