New & Used Car Throttle Bodys

Throttle Body Info

The throttle body is the section of the car that puts air from the accelerator into the engine and can be described as a large valve. Some people are not aware that the accelerator is actually an air pedal. The throttle body links up the intake manifold with the mass airflow sensor and on a modern car, this section is electronically managed to work automatically as the accelerator is pressed. If this section of the car should break, the engine will no longer have a sufficient supply of air and power will be lost.

If the part needs to be replaced then it will need to be programmed with the ECU of the vehicle so that it can be recognised and activated. This is the main part of the car for controlling air flow into the engine. One of the main sections of the throttle body is the throttle plate.
