The throttle band is a component found in vehicles, particularly in the internal combustion engine systems. It regulates the amount of air entering the engine, which directly affects the engine's power output and efficiency. By controlling airflow, the throttle band helps manage the vehicle's speed and acceleration. In modern vehicles, the throttle band is often electronically controlled, allowing for precise adjustments based on driver input and engine performance. This technology is part of the throttle body assembly, which works in conjunction with the fuel injection system to optimize combustion and reduce emissions.
