     • For nearly 30 years, fuel injected vehicles used a mechanical throttle body which controlled air intake and throttle by a manual lever and linkage assembly, similar to a carburetor. That is no longer the case for most vehicles on the road today. Instead, an electronic throttle body gets the job done.

   What is the difference between electronic throttle control and mechanical throttle control?

   • The biggest difference between electronic throttle control and mechanical throttle control is the method by which the throttle valve is moved. In a mechanical system, a cable connects the gas pedal to the throttle body. When the pedal is pressed, the cable opens the valve inside the throttle body.

   How does electronic throttle control work?

   • There is no mechanical linkage between the accelerator pedal and the throttle valve with electronic throttle control. Instead, the position of the throttle valve (i.e., the amount of air in the engine) is fully controlled by the ETC software via the electric motor.

   How does a car throttle work?

   • The harder you pressed the gas pedal, the further the throttle body would open because a cable was pulling it open. However, today’s cars are mostly controlled by computers. Even the throttle in most modern vehicles is controlled using electronic throttle control, and the gas pedal is connected to sensors instead of a physical cable.

   When was the first electronic throttle control system invented?

   • In 1988, the first “drive-by-wire” electronic throttle control (ECT) system appeared. The BMW 7 Series was the first to feature an electronic throttle body (ETB). The electronic throttle control system includes the accelerator pedal, ETC module, and throttle body.

   What is an electronic throttle body?

   • An electronic throttle body looks like a typical throttle body. It is fitted with an electronic servomotor or stepper motor and a throttle position sensor (TPS) instead of cables. Real-time TPS data confirms actual throttle position for the ETC module. Accelerator Pedal Actually has Less Effect on Engine Speed than Most Think.

   Is electronic throttle control a good idea?

   • While it's true that electronic throttle control adds complications, it also adds a number of benefits. The first is decreased maintenance. Mechanical throttle systems, because they are made up of a lot of moving parts, are subject to a lot of wear. Over the life of the car, the various components can wear out.

   If you wanted to go faster, all you had to do was step down harder -- the throttle would open wider, giving the car more power. But electronic throttle control, which is sometimes called drive-by-wire, uses electronic, instead of mechanical, signals to control the throttle.

   What is an Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)? It’s also known as drive-by-wire, a technology that has revolutionized how throttle input is transferred to the engine. Unlike traditional mechanical systems where a cable connects the accelerator pedal to the throttle body, ETC uses electronic signals.
