RD Carburetor Throttle Cable

In vehicle mechanisms, air and fuel can only be mixed for combustion either electronically or mechanically. In cars with mechanical throttle valves, the throttle lever and gas pedal are connected by a throttle cable, whereas in older cars, the connection between the gas pedal and throttle lever was made using a lever and rod.

When you press the gas pedal, the throttle cable pulls the throttle lever, changing the angle of the throttle valve. This results in a change in the amount of incoming air, which in turn alters the amount of fuel injected.

Throttle cables from Golden Asia Union Company are produced from the highest quality and most durable materials.

In used cars, for various reasons, the throttle cable may break, which is a common occurrence. In such cases, the driver may notice that the gas pedal feels loose or “empty,” leading to a reduction in vehicle speed and eventually causing the car to stop. When this happens, the car can be driven in first gear with the clutch engaged, moving at a minimal speed. However, if the car encounters an incline, it may stop and stall.

In older vehicles, the throttle cable is made of cable and wire, with one end connected to the gas pedal inside the cabin and the other end to the throttle lever. The driver can control the car’s speed by pressing the gas pedal.

In modern cars, the throttle cable has been replaced by a component called a potentiometer or throttle sensor, which is connected to the gas pedal. This sensor, through the vehicle’s wiring, sends data on the pedal’s depression to the car’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) to determine the amount of fuel injection.

Newer cars come with an electric throttle that uses a small motor to rotate the throttle valve. The information sent to the ECU controls the amount of air entering the engine, and the fuel injection amount is adjusted accordingly, optimizing the engine’s output torque.

Disadvantages of Throttle Cables:

One major drawback of throttle cables is the entry of dust and dirt into the cable sheath, which can cause the cable to stiffen. Inadequate lubrication or lack of lubrication can lead to the cable fraying, causing unexpected sticking and significantly high engine RPM. If the driver does not shift to neutral or turn off the engine, there is a risk of accidents or collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians.

Throttle cables are crucial and sensitive components. High quality and durability of these parts are essential to save time and costs. In this regard, Golden Asia Union Company, leveraging its extensive experience, supplies high-quality auto parts and accessories throughout the country.
