Air Delivery

Air which is drawn in and filtered by the air cleaner is metered and sent to the throttle body. From the throttle body, the air is regulated by the open-close operation of the throttle valve and is delivered to the intake manifold. It is then distributed to the respective cylinders to mix with fuel injected by the fuel injectors. Thus, the air-fuel mixture is delivered into the cylinder. Part of the air branched at the upstream of the throttle body is sent to the idle air control solenoid valve which regulates engine idle speed.
