Under What Circumstances Should You Press the Accelerator?

[Gayle]

Generally, when starting a car, you should press the accelerator while releasing the clutch to prevent stalling even if the starting resistance is high. Below is a detailed introduction about the car accelerator: 1. Overview: The accelerator, also known as the "throttle" or "gas pedal," is a control device that regulates the engine's power (thrust). In piston aircraft engines, the throttle controls the carburetor's throttle valve opening to manage the cylinder's filling volume, thereby determining the engine's output power. 2. Others: In gas turbine engines, the throttle controls the metered fuel flow of the fuel regulator, thus determining the thrust produced by the engine. The accelerator pedal is part of the car's fuel supply system. By adjusting the amount of pedal press, it controls the engine's throttle valve opening and the intake air volume.
