English to Swedish Tech/Engineering
I need to translate these terms into Swedish. They are all related to car engines:

Selected

fjärilsventil, spjällventil, trottelventil

In a car application where you are dealing with an intake situation, the best word should be "spjällventil" (approx. 'throttle valve', but of the intake type. Throttle is used in the carburettor sense)
