Abstract: On one side of a valve shaft, there are provided an accelerator drum connected to an accelerator pedal by an accelerator wire, a return spring for urging the accelerator drum in a valve closing direction, and an accelerator sensor for detecting rotation of the accelerator drum and transmitting a detected signal to a host system. On the other side of the valve shaft, there are provided a large-diameter gear and an opening sensor. An armature of a solenoid clutch is attached to the gear and held on a motor shaft via a slide bearing. Thus, the motor, the solenoid clutch and the throttle valve are arranged into a U-shaped form for interconnection through four gears.

Abstract: A throttle valve control arrangement for an internal combustion engine comprising: a throttle valve; an electrical motor for actuating the throttle valve; mechanical links for coupling and decoupling the electrical motor with the throttle valve; a throttle position sensor for detecting a position of the throttle valve; and a control unit which compares an output signal from the throttle position sensor representing a detected throttle position with a signal representing a target throttle valve opening degree and generates a feed-back control signal for the electrical motor based on the comparison result, wherein the throttle position sensor shows a first output voltage characteristic with respect to throttle valve opening degrees for a first region covering ISC and FIC and a voltage gradient of the first output voltage characteristic is selected larger than that of an unmodified output voltage characteristic of the throttle position sensor, thereby a high resolution of the throttle position sensor is obtained
