This paper focuses on the design of a controller for the throttle valve that is used in combustion engines for the purpose of adjusting air-fuel ratio. Due to the right-hand side discontinuities and uncertainties in the throttle body's mathematical model, sliding mode concept is utilized after the employment of feedback linearization techniques in the intermediate stages of design. Finally, the performance of the proposed controller is evaluated with the simulation and experimental studies. 0-7803-7298-0/02/$17.00 0 2002 AACC
