Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a throttle valve electronically in an internal combustion engine comprises a throttle valve with a rotation axis disposed in an intake air passage of an internal combustion engine, and an actuator with two ends and a central body disposed in parallel with the rotation axis of the throttle valve and extending back part way along the length of the throttle valve, and a casing formed around the throttle valve and the actuator, but not covering the central body of the actuator to thereby allow a mold for the casing to be slidably removed in a direction at approximately a right angle to the rotation axis.
