Where is the throttle valve located in a car?

[ErinAnn]

The throttle valve of a car is located between the air filter of the intake system and the engine block. The throttle valve is a controllable valve that regulates the amount of air entering the engine. After the air enters the intake manifold, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. It is one of the key components in the fuel injection system of an engine. Throttle valves are categorized into: 1. Traditional engine throttle valves: Their operating mechanism works via a cable or linkage rod, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other to the throttle linkage plate. 2. Electronic throttle valves: These use a throttle position sensor to control the opening angle of the throttle valve based on the engine's energy requirements, thereby adjusting the amount of air intake.
