The electric throttle regulates the air flow into the supercharger.
The electric throttle is installed at the front of the engine, between the cylinder heads. Four bolts attach the electric throttle to the supercharger.
The throttle plate is operated by a DC (direct current) electric motor attached to the throttle body. The motor is controlled by the ECM (engine control module) and is constantly adjusted in response to driver inputs with the throttle pedal to precisely control the amount of air allowed into the intake manifold.
For additional information, refer to: ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROLS (DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION) .
To prevent icing, coolant is circulated across the throttle body through coolant feed and return connections.
