What is the function of an electronic throttle accelerator?
2 Answers
Electronic throttle accelerator works by: amplifying the throttle signal and re-controlling the opening and closing of the throttle valve. When the accelerator pedal is pressed, it collects the signal from the accelerator pedal position sensor and transmits the reorganized throttle signal to the computer, improving the engine's response performance. This enhances throttle sensitivity, accelerates starting speed, and ultimately achieves instant acceleration. Installing an electronic throttle accelerator in semi-acceleration mode generally does not increase fuel consumption. The throttle response becomes faster and lighter, and the power is improved. In other words, to achieve the same power as before installation, you can press the accelerator pedal with less force, which can actually help reduce fuel consumption to some extent.
I've been driving for over a decade and am particularly familiar with electronic throttle controllers. Essentially, it's a device that adjusts throttle signals, installed on the pedal to modify signals sent to the electronic control unit, thereby making acceleration response quicker. Originally, electronic throttle systems have a slight delay—you press the pedal, but the engine doesn't respond immediately. This device improves response speed, making driving feel more direct and responsive, especially useful when climbing hills or overtaking at high speeds. Overtaking becomes safer, and starting off feels more confident. Of course, fuel consumption might increase slightly because quicker responses may lead to pressing the pedal more, but the expense is worth it for the enhanced driving experience. I recommend it for drivers who frequently navigate mountain roads or enjoy spirited driving—installation is straightforward and can be done yourself.
