Where is the Civic Throttle Body Located?
1 Answers
The throttle body of the Honda Civic is located next to the air cleaner, connecting the air cleaner and the engine block. Below are detailed explanations about the throttle body: 1. Definition: The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates the airflow entering the engine. After passing through the throttle body, the air mixes with gasoline in the intake manifold to form a combustible mixture, which then ignites to generate power. Positioned between the air cleaner and the engine block, it is often referred to as the 'throat' of the automotive engine. 2. Types: Throttle bodies are categorized into traditional cable-operated and electronic throttle bodies. In traditional engines, the throttle is operated 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. Electronic throttle bodies primarily use a throttle position sensor to adjust the throttle opening angle based on the engine's power demand, thereby regulating the intake air volume.
