On older carbureted engines, the throttle body is built into the carburetor. It is opened and closed through a cable and linkage from the gas pedal and engine vacuum, more fuel is delivered as the valve opens. On a fuel-injected engine it is normally located between the air filter and the intake manifold, and is connected to the gas pedal ...

A throttle body is a butterfly valve located between the air intake filter and the intake manifold. It regulates how much air can go into the engine, based on driver input through the gas pedal ...
The throttle body is responsible for controlling the amount of air that enters the engine. Here’s how it works: The throttle body is connected to the accelerator pedal by a mechanical linkage in older vehicles or electronically in modern vehicles with drive-by-wire systems. When you press the accelerator pedal, it opens the throttle plate ...
The throttle body is a part of the car’s fuel system that controls the amount of air that enters the engine. It is connected to the accelerator pedal and is responsible for controlling the speed of the car by regulating the flow of air into the engine. When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the throttle body opens and allows more air to enter ...
A throttle body is a critical component of an engine that regulates the amount of air entering the combustion chamber. It plays a crucial role in determining the air-fuel mixture, which directly affects the engine’s performance and efficiency. By controlling the airflow, the throttle body helps optimize power output and fuel consumption based ...

A throttle body is a tube-shaped housing that contains a flat valve (butterfly) that rotates to vary the amount of air entering an engine. In an electronically fuel-injected car, a throttle position sensor and air-flow sensor communicate with the computer, which supplies the corresponding amount of fuel needed at the injectors.
