Throttle Body
The intake and throttle body are integrated into a single aluminum casting. Runner lengths are tuned to optimize engine torque and power output. The
manifold provides mounting flanges for the Air Bypass Valve, Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) and PCV tube. Vacuum taps are provided to support
various engine accessories.
The Throttle Body Assembly controls airflow to the engine. The throttle position is controlled by a single butterfly-type valve. The throttle position is
controlled by a conventional cable/four bar throttle linkage. The body is a single piece die casting made of aluminum. It has a single bore with an air
bypass channel around the throttle plate. This bypass allows both cold and warm engine idle airflow as regulated by an Air Bypass Valve Assembly
mounted directly to the throttle body. The valve assembly is an electro-mechanical device controlled by the EEC computer. It incorporates a linear
actuator which positions a variable area metering valve.
