What is the difference between electronic throttle and cable throttle?
1 Answers
Electronic throttle and cable throttle differ in the presence of a steel wire cable. Advantages of cable throttle: The design is simple and cost-effective. The throttle's responsiveness is directly controlled by the driver's pedal depth and force, without computer processing, making the cable throttle's response the most direct. For cars of the same displacement, those using a cable throttle have better acceleration performance than those with an electronic throttle. Disadvantages of cable throttle: The cable throttle directly controls the throttle valve opening via the cable. Over time, carbon buildup on the throttle valve can cause delayed throttle response and reduced power. Additionally, the throttle valve opening control is not precise enough, leading to poor coordination with engine conditions, resulting in increased fuel consumption and reduced power, among other adverse effects.
