What is a Throttle Body Housing?
A throttle within throttle body housing is the mechanism by which the flow of a fluid is managed by constriction or obstruction. An engine’s power can be increased or decreased by the restriction of inlet gases (i.e., by the use of a throttle). The term throttle has come to refer, informally and incorrectly, to any mechanism by which the power or speed of an engine is regulated. An injection molded throttle body has a one-piece lever shaft and plate which is installed as a single piece unit in a laterally split throttle body housing. An electronic throttle body housing is for an internal combustion engine which comprises of a throttle bore in the housing and extending right through. A shaft is mounted for rotation and extending through the throttle bore from one wall to the diametrically opposed wall. A throttle blade is mounted on the shaft and is rotatable from a substantially closed position to a substantially wide open position. A torsion spring biasing the shaft is in a rotatable
