Where is the throttle lever located?
1 Answers
Here is the relevant information about the throttle lever: 1. Two types of throttle: There are two types of throttle - the traditional cable-type and the electronic throttle. The traditional engine throttle control mechanism operates via a cable (soft steel wire) or lever, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other end connected to the throttle linkage plate. The electronic throttle primarily uses a throttle position sensor to control the throttle opening angle based on the engine's required energy, thereby regulating the intake air volume. 2. Throttle position: The throttle is located behind the air filter in the intake system and in front of the intake manifold. 3. Throttle function: The throttle is the throat of the engine, controlling the engine's air intake. When the driver presses the accelerator pedal, it does not directly control the fuel injection volume but rather the throttle opening. 4. Increased throttle opening: When the throttle opening increases, the sensor detects the increased air volume entering the engine, and the ECU commands the fuel injection system to increase the fuel injection volume. Modern vehicle engines predominantly use electronic throttles.
