What is the difference between electronic throttle and cable throttle?

[MacLilah]

The difference between electronic throttle and cable throttle is whether there is a steel wire cable above the accelerator pedal. Advantages of cable throttle: Simple design and low cost. The speed and intensity of the throttle are controlled by the depth and force of the driver's pedal press. Since it is not processed by a computer, the response of the cable throttle is the most direct. For cars of the same displacement, those using a cable throttle have stronger acceleration performance than those using an electronic throttle. Disadvantages of cable throttle: The cable throttle directly controls the opening of the throttle valve through the cable. After long-term driving, carbon deposits form on the throttle valve, leading to delayed throttle response and reduced power. Moreover, the throttle valve opening control is not precise enough, resulting in poor coordination with engine conditions, which can cause increased fuel consumption and reduced power, among other adverse effects.
