Description
Generally, an intake valve is the name for a valve that allows air or fluid to pass through it, typically during the intake phase of an engine's operation. In your car, the intake valves allow an air and fuel mixture into the engine's cylinders where it can then be compressed. The valves shut during the compression phase and the spark plug ignites the air and fuel mixture, creating a force that propels the car forward. If these valves aren’t working properly, the engine will create less power and it can damage the engine over time.
