What is a Car Throttle Lever?
1 Answers
Car throttle lever is a switch that adjusts the air-fuel mixture ratio. Here are detailed explanations about the car throttle: 1. Overview: The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine. After entering the intake manifold, the air mixes with gasoline to form combustible mixture, which then burns to produce power. Connected to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, it's often referred to as the 'throat' of a car engine. 2. Classification: Throttles are divided into traditional cable-type and electronic throttle types. In traditional engines, the throttle control mechanism works through a cable (flexible steel wire) or lever, connecting the accelerator pedal at one end and the throttle linkage plate at the other. Electronic throttles primarily use throttle position sensors to control the throttle opening angle based on engine power requirements, thereby regulating the intake air volume.
