  2. Toyota R engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_R_engine

    Toyota upped the ante again with the DOHC (but still 2-valve) 8R-G, produced from 1969 through 1972. From 1969 to Feb 1971 it was known as the 10R , but along with a removal of the tensioner gear in the interest of quieter operation, it was renamed the 8R-G to reflect the decision that twin-cam engines were henceforth to be identified by a "-G ...

  3. Swirl flap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swirl_flap

    Swirl flap principle in a four-valve engine. A swirl flap is a small butterfly valve fitted to four-stroke internal combustion engines with at least two intake valves.It is installed inside or just before one of a cylinder's two intake ports, allowing to throttle its intake port's air flow, causing a swirl in the other intake port not fitted with a swirl flap.

  4. Throttle position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle_position_sensor

    Non contact type TPS work on the principle of Hall effect or inductive sensors, or magnetoresistive technologies, wherein generally the magnet or inductive loop is the dynamic part which is mounted on the butterfly valve throttle spindle/shaft gear and the sensor & signal processing circuit board is mounted within the ETC gear box cover and is ...

  5. Wide open throttle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_open_throttle

    The term also, by extension, usually refers to the maximum-speed state of running the engine, as the normal result of a fully opened throttle plate/butterfly valve. In an internal combustion engine, this state entails the maximum intake of air and fuel that occurs when the throttle plates inside the carburetor or throttle body are "wide open ...

  6. Throttle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle

    A cross-section view of a butterfly valve. In an internal combustion engine, the throttle is a means of controlling an engine's power by regulating the amount of fuel or air entering the engine. In a motor vehicle the control used by the driver to regulate power is sometimes called the throttle, accelerator, or gas pedal. For a gasoline engine ...

  7. List of Toyota engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Toyota_engines

    Other manufacturers may modify the engine after it has left the Toyota factory but the engine still keeps the original Toyota designation. For example, Lotus added a supercharger to the 2ZZ-GE in some versions of the Lotus Elise and Exige, but the engine is still labelled 2ZZ-GE, not 2ZZ-GZE. Examples: 3S-GTE 3S – Third model in the S engine ...

  8. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

    For example, blockage by a foreign object or any other mechanical interference with the pedal's operation, and may involve the accelerator or brake pedal. A design flaw in some Toyota models enabled accelerator pedals to become trapped by floor mats. [18] Throttle butterfly valves may become sluggish in operation or may stick in the closed ...

  9. Idle air control actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_air_control_actuator

    An idle air control actuator or idle air control valve (IAC actuator/valve) is a device commonly used in fuel-injected vehicles to control the engine's idling rotational speed . [1] In carburetted vehicles a similar device known as an idle speed control actuator is used.
