Where is the throttle located?
1 Answers
The throttle is generally located at the engine intake, between the air filter and the intake manifold. Here are more details about the throttle: 1. The throttle is one of the most important components in today's fuel-injected engine systems. Its upper part connects to the air filter, and the lower part connects to the engine block, serving as the 'throat' of the engine that links the air filter and the cylinder block. 2. There are two types of throttles: traditional cable-operated and electronic. In traditional engines, the throttle control mechanism works via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage, connecting the accelerator pedal to the throttle linkage plate. Electronic throttles primarily use a throttle position sensor to adjust the throttle opening angle based on the engine's energy requirements, thereby regulating the amount of air intake.
