What is a "throttle"?
A throttle is a part of a vehicle that controls the amount of air and fuel entering the engine, which determines how fast the engine runs. It is usually connected to the gas pedal and is adjusted by the driver. When the throttle is opened, more air and fuel enter the engine, causing it to accelerate. When the throttle is closed, the engine slows down. The throttle helps manage the engine's power and speed, allowing the driver to control the vehicle’s movement smoothly.
Example
The electronic throttle provided precise control over engine power.
