The throttle body is part of the system air intake which controls the amount of air flowing into the engine's combustion chamber. On cars with carburetor engines, This section consists of units housing containing butterfly valve which rotates on an axis. To open and close it, This part is connected via cable to the gas pedal and engine vacuum. The harder the driver presses the gas, the more air will come in. This makes more fuel flow so that the car can go fast
For cars with engines fuel-injection added throttle position sensor and air-flow sensor which reports to the ECU that the driver has stepped on the gas. The sensor detects incoming air and sends a message to the car's computer to increase the amount of fuel supplied by the injectors to keep the ratio between the two balanced..
Recognizing the various causes can help you be alert. Some signs and causes of component problems are as follows.
Idle Conditions That Feel Unstable
If when starting the vehicle then the engineidle, your car feels like it is jumping around and making strange sounds. This could be caused by conditionsthrottle bodykotor. Car engines are the most sensitive whenidle, so it is very easy to recognize the condition of the vehicle when it is not good at the moment.Throttle bodyDirty ones can be caused by continuous use of low quality fuel.
The car RPM can also be very low causing the vehicle to stall. Accumulated dirt causes valve or the valve cannot open completely so that the incoming air is not optimal. If you want to clean it, You must take the vehicle to an Auto2000 repair shop to have it checked by an expert.
Aggressive Driving Style
Throttle body regulate the mixture between air and fuel entering the engine. Throttle body problems can disrupt the mix of the two, causes problems when accelerating. If you feel the car has uneven acceleration, such as sometimes fast and sometimes slow, the car may have throttle body problematic. Especially if previously your driving style was aggressive and rough. This problem is increasingly likely to occur.
Misfires
Misfires occur either when the air-fuel mixture is imperfect or when the spark from the spark plug is very weak. This is a sign of incomplete combustion in the combustion chamber. Throttle body problems can disrupt the air-fuel mixture and can cause the engine to stall. Misfire most easily recognized when there is a small jerk when starting the engine. This problem is easily encountered in older vehicles.
