A throttle valve for an internal combustion engine, the throttle valve having: a valve seat; a throttle disk, which engages the valve seat and is rotated by an electric motor between an open position and a closed position; a gear transmission connecting the electric motor to a shaft of the throttle disk; a position sensor for determining the position of the throttle disk; a housing chamber housing the electric motor, the gear transmission, and the position sensor; and a rigid plate, which is housed inside the housing chamber, and supports a stator of the position sensor, electric terminals of an electric connector, and a connecting printed circuit which connects the stator of the position sensor and the electric motor electrically to the electric terminals of the electric connector.

A choke valve for an intake manifold with a retracting tumble system for an engine provided with a number of cylinders, the choke valve being adapted to vary the passage section of the air through an intake duct which connects each cylinder with the intake manifold and is regulated by at least one intake valve; the choke valve comprises a butterfly mounted to rotate about an axis of rotation disposed transversely and externally with respect to the corresponding intake duct under the thrust of a corresponding rotary electric motor which comprises a stator and a rotor housed directly in the butterfly.
