How the intake system works

To obtain normal power from an air-fuel mixture explosion, it is necessary to mix the fuel and air at an appropriate ratio. The intake system is equipment that takes in air at this time. It is composed of an air cleaner, throttle valve, intake manifold etc.

Air cleaner
When outside air is sucked into the engine, this part cleans dirt and dust found in the outside air through use of an element.

Throttle valve
Linked with the operation of the accelerator pedal inside the cabin, this part adjusts the amount of air-fuel mixture sucked into the cylinder, according to the driving conditions.
When a large amount of power is required, the accelerator pedal is depressed by a large amount, increasing the air fuel mixture intake volume.
