This class will focus on common failures
in electronic throttle control, variable valve timing, fuel measurement and delivery, and other areas that can cause driveability symptoms.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee's available Flexible - fuel Vehicle (FFV) 4.7 - liter V - 8 engine
incorporates electronic throttle control, two spark plugs per cylinder, increased compression ratio, improved cylinder - head port flow and a new combustion system.
The 8 Series was among the first cars to
use electronic throttle control (drive - by - wire) and the V - 12 versions used two ECUs, one for each bank of cylinders.
Powering the 328d is a two - liter, 180 BMW TwinPower Turbo Diesel dual overhead (DOHC) I4 cylinder engine that generates 280 pound - feet of engine torque and
features Electronic Throttle Control, Auto Start - Stop and electronically controlled engine cooling for increased efficiency.
In some cases, the delayed throttle response you're talking about is caused by a
faulty electronic throttle control or excessive carbon deposits on fuel system components like the throttle body, fuel injectors and mass air flow sensor.
Engine: 2.0 L DOHC Intercooled Turbocharged - inc: Dual Active Valve Control System (ADVCS) variable valve
timing Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) and SI - DRIVE engine performance management (automatic transmission models only)
Though it sounds really complex, brake - throttle override is just an electronic system that works with
modern electronic throttle controls to reduce engine power whenever the brake pedal is depressed.
Electronic throttle control facilitates the integration of features such as cruise control, traction control, stability control, and precrash systems and others that require torque management, since the throttle can be moved irrespective of the position of the driver's accelerator pedal.
All CamPro engines incorporate drive - by - wire technology (
specifically electronic throttle control) for better response, [2] eliminating the need for friction - generating mechanical linkages and cables.
The powertrain also
incorporates electronic throttle control (ETC), dual - mode crankshaft damping, new intake and exhaust manifolds, and a new underbody - only catalyst, which refine performance and contribute to greater fuel efficiency.
Some of the significant technologies enabling the Chrysler Group MDS are the speed of electronic controls, the sophistication of the algorithms controlling the systems and the use
of Electronic Throttle Control (ETC).
Brake - throttle override: Allows driver to stop the vehicle when throttle and brake inputs occur simultaneously;
electronic throttle control reduces engine - power output until vehicle stops or pedal inputs cease
The SMT clutch and gear selector operations are performed by ECU computer controlled actuators and the engine is also equipped
with electronic throttle control to allow the ECU to reduce torque during shifts.
NHTSA and NASA will also brief the National Academy of Sciences panel currently conducting a broad review of unintended acceleration and
electronic throttle control systems on the reports released today.
The electronic throttle control — the digital fly - by - wire unit that links the gas pedal to the fuel delivery unit.
If that's not the issue then it may be the ETC (
Electronic Throttle Control) which is used in drive - by - wire systems in place of physical throttle linkage.
If the car has
electronic throttle control, you will definitely get a warning light on the dashboard if the system is malfunctioning.
Judging from the year, it might not, as 2002 was around the time when car manufacturers were transitioning to
electronic throttle control.
Does this car have
electronic throttle control?
Later versions used a drive - by - wire /
electronic throttle control.
The 1991 Acura NSX was Honda's tour de force of innovative technology: all - aluminum chassis, forged aluminum suspension arms, antilock brakes, forged aluminum wheels, and a high - revving, 270 - hp 3.0 - liter V - 6 engine with lightweight titanium connecting rods and variable valve timing and lift, plus
electronic throttle control.
Gear heads will revel in a spec sheet that includes BMW's High Pressure Double Vanos variable - valve - timing,
electronic throttle control, and the M Driving Dynamics Control System, which offers both Normal or Sport throttle response settings.
