A 'performance throttle body' will have bigger ports than the stock TB, which allows more air into the engine. This will then allow you to add more fuel through a custom tune, which means slightly more power.
Also, the throttle response of an aftermarket, bigger port TB is typically quicker than the OEM piece.
The throttle body on a stock mustang should not hurt the performance. You can always upgrade to a better performing throttle body. Unless you plan on changing things like air intake, exhaust, headers, and things of that sort you should be just fine with the stock throttle body. They are already designed for the most efficiency and power ratios.
YES - in fact 1986 and 1987 throttle bodies were larger than 1988 on ( some people use them as part of a performance upgrade package on 1988 and newer 2.9 L's )
A throttle body spacer can save fuel as well as improve performance. This is done by adjusting the flow of air and fuel as it enters the intake.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, but you don't. the throttle body interior, and throttle plate, is coated with a material to prevent sludge build up. Cleaning it may cause engine performance to decrease.
No, the throttle body and throttle actuator are not the same, although they work together in the vehicle's engine management system. The throttle body is the component that controls the airflow into the engine, while the throttle actuator is the mechanism that adjusts the throttle plate position based on signals from the engine control unit (ECU). In the Jaguar S-Type, these components collaborate to regulate engine performance and responsiveness.
Yes, in a Chevrolet Malibu, the throttle body can be linked to the Body Control Module (BCM) as part of the vehicle's overall electronic control system. The BCM manages various functions, including communication between the throttle body and other components like the engine control module (ECM). This integration allows for improved engine performance and responsiveness. If there are issues with the throttle body, it may trigger warning lights or affect vehicle performance, which can be diagnosed through the BCM.
The stock throttle body on a 96 cubic inch Harley Davidson motor is typically around 50mm in diameter. This throttle body size is designed to provide adequate airflow for the engine’s performance needs.
Yes, a bad throttle body can contribute to engine pinging. If the throttle body is malfunctioning, it may lead to improper air-fuel mixtures, causing the engine to run lean. A lean mixture can increase combustion temperatures, which may result in knocking or pinging. Ensuring that the throttle body is clean and functioning properly is essential for optimal engine performance.

On a 1994 Ford Aspire, the throttle position sensor (TPS) is located on the throttle body, which is typically found on the intake manifold. The sensor is mounted directly to the throttle body and is connected to the throttle plate shaft. It monitors the position of the throttle plate and sends this information to the engine control unit (ECU) to optimize fuel injection and engine performance. To access it, you may need to remove any air intake components obstructing the throttle body.
