VDO Gauges Electronic Throttle Body Assembly

The VDO electronic throttle body assembly (also called an electronic throttle body, ETB, throttle valve or drive-by-wire throttle housing) is a fuel injection component that controls how much air enters the engine. It responds to accelerator pedal commands relayed through the engine control module. VDO is a recognized original equipment supplier, and this line gives professional technicians and DIY installers a quality replacement option.

Key Features:

• Electronically actuated throttle design that regulates intake airflow based on driver input and ECM commands
• Aluminum housing construction
• Integrated throttle position sensor and idle air control motor
• 12-volt electrical operation
• Built to original equipment specifications for fit, form and function
• Supports engine functions such as idle control, cruise control and traction control, depending on the application

A properly working electronic throttle body helps maintain smooth idle, responsive acceleration and efficient fuel economy. Gaskets and mounting hardware are generally not included. Some applications may need a control module adaptation or reflash after installation.
