Is the accelerator pedal operated by the left foot or the right foot?

[LeAubree]

The accelerator pedal is operated by the right foot. The accelerator pedal, also known as the throttle pedal, is part of the vehicle's fuel supply system. By controlling the amount of pedal depression, it regulates the opening of the engine throttle, which in turn controls the air intake. The engine control unit (ECU) then adjusts the fuel injection accordingly to control the engine speed. The throttle position is manipulated by the driver via the throttle lever in the cockpit, which transmits the command through a series of linkages, rocker arms, torque tubes, cables, pulleys, and sector wheels to the carburetor or fuel regulator on the engine. When the driver needs to accelerate, pressing the accelerator pedal sends a signal from the pedal position sensor to the ECU via a cable. The ECU analyzes, interprets, and sends commands to the drive motor, which then adjusts the throttle opening to regulate the flow of the air-fuel mixture.
