## ⚙️ Key Features

-   OEM Volvo Penta part number 23607171
-   System group: Inlet and Exhaust System
-   Net weight: 1.422 kg

## 🔌 Function

The throttle body meters intake airflow by opening and closing a butterfly against the incoming charge, positioned by the control system to match demand. Bore cleanliness and smooth butterfly movement determine how precisely that metering works.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Unstable, hunting or excessively high idle
-   Poor or delayed throttle response
-   Stored fault codes relating to throttle position or airflow
-   Carbon build-up around the butterfly and bore
-   Butterfly sticking, binding or not returning cleanly

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Treat it as an electrical component as much as a mechanical one: do not force the throttle plate open by hand, keep aggressive solvents out of the bore, and keep cleaner away from the connector and any sensor
-   Clean the joint faces, fit a new gasket or seal and tighten evenly to the figure given in the workshop manual for your engine so the housing is not distorted
-   Check the connector and harness for corrosion, spread or damaged pins and chafing before fitting; many faults blamed on the throttle body turn out to be wiring or connector faults
-   Carry out any adaptation, calibration or learning procedure the engine's control system requires after fitting, then clear stored fault codes
-   Make sure the air path either side is clean and that the throttle moves through its full travel without binding once assembled
