What is the main function of the throttle?

[DeKaylee]

The throttle is a controllable valve that regulates the entry of air into the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to perform work. It is connected to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, often referred to as the throat of the car engine. More related information is as follows: 1. There are two types of throttles: the traditional cable-operated type and the electronic throttle. In traditional engines, the throttle control mechanism operates via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage rod, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other to the throttle linkage plate. 2. The electronic throttle primarily uses a throttle position sensor to adjust the throttle opening angle based on the engine's energy requirements, thereby regulating the amount of air intake.
