Abstract
Electronic engine management systems have a plurality of individual components, some of which are relatively far away from one another. Electrically connecting the individual components, particularly to an electronic control unit therefore requires relatively long electrical connecting lines and relatively many plug connection. The apparatus includes a plurality of components, that is, at least one throttle device accommodated rotatably in a throttle valve housing and actuatable by a throttle valve control motor, an electronic control unit, a regenerating valve, and/or an air flow rate meter, which according to the invention are accommodated in a common housing as a premountable structural unit. The apparatus of the invention is intended in particular for mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.
