Why does an engine turn faster as the throttle is opened?

With an open throttle the engine can get more of the fuel-air mixture into it. With more fuel to burn it will run faster.

Where is throttle pedal position switch b on your 2000 Saturn sl 2?

The throttle position sensor is on the throttle body. That's the part of the engine that controls the amount of air allowed into the engine. To find the throttle body, follow the air intake routing toward the engine. The throttle body is the part that sits on the intake manifold. To find the throttle position sensor, follow the throttle cable to the throttle body. If it helps, have someone press down and release the throttle pedal while you're looking for the throttle body/position sensor. The throttle cable causes a shaft to turn, that's the part that controls the air coming into the engine. The throttle position sensor is connected to that shaft.

Why the car runs fast or slow?

The position of the throttle(gas pedal) decides how fast the engine can turn, and the selection of gear decides how fast the wheels can turn. And how fast the wheels can turn decides how fast the car will be going. (note that this is quite simplified. Eventually the resistance of pushing the car forward will be higher than the engine can overcome, and then you won't get any more turns out of the engine, even if you try for more throttle)


How does a throttle work on a dirt bike?

Pretty much the same way as on any bike. Turn the grip and some sort of valve in the carburettor opens up wider. The engine takes in more air and more fuel and begin to spin faster and stronger.

Need to know what year, engine size and if it has a carburetor or throttle body injection (TBI).


What is the Reaction if throttle body sensor is bad?

Assuming you mean the throttle position sensor. The throttle position sensors tells the engine computer when the throttle position has changed, it adjusts fuel flow to match the throttle opening. If the throttle position sensor fails then the engine computer has to depend only on the MAP sensor to define air flow thus how to adjust the fuel flow. I would expect then that response time would be slower than when the throttle position sensor works correctly. On a Chevy Celebrity it might also turn on the check engine light and post either a code 21 or a code 22.


How do you reset the oil life indication on a 1997 corvette?

Turn On the ignition leaving the engine OFF. Cycle the Accelerator Pedal from a closed throttle to a wide open throttle (WOT) 3 times within 5 seconds.


How do throttle control the speed car?

The throttle does NOT control the speed of the car. On most spark ignition engines (an engine that uses spark plugs to fire) the throttle controls the amount of air entering the engine. The amount of fuel injected is proportional to the amount of air entering the engine. As this fuel is burned, cylinder pressure is increased and in turn moves the pistons. The more fuel, the more pressure, the faster that piston moves. So what the throttle indirectly controls is the speed (RPM's) of the engine. The power output of the engine varies throughout its RPM range. This torque output is the input for the transmission. The torque is increased or reduced as it passes through the gears of the transmission (and the differential) and eventually makes it to the wheels. In simpler terms, more throttle generally means more torque going to the wheels causing acceleration. Less throttle means less torque and the car will decelerate until the speed matches the torque going to the wheels. There are many more factors such as friction, inertia, heat, etc... but this is a pretty close explanation of how this works.


What does overdrive do?

Over-drive allows the transmission to turn at a faster rate than the engine. This lessens the work load on your engine and improves gas mileage.


How do you start a kx85?

The easiest way to start a KX85 off road bike is to make sure the transmission is shifted to neutral. Then, turn the throttle three times and release. Depress the kick start pedal a few times. If the engine starts to run, quickly turn the throttle a little to give it gas.
