Throttle Plate

The throttle plate is a valve located in the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine. It controls the amount of air that enters the engine by regulating the opening and closing of the valve.

  • When the throttle plate is fully open, maximum airflow is allowed into the engine.
  • When the throttle plate is closed, no airflow enters the engine.
The driver controls the position of the throttle plate using the accelerator pedal.
