and operated by the throttle plate spindle. A throttle switch assembly has two
switches, one to indicate the closed throttle or idle position and the other for the
wide open throttle position. A throttle potentiometer is a variable resistor with a
rotary sliding contact. The sliding contact is moved along the rotary resistance
track to provide changes in voltage proportional to the position of the throttle.
The throttle potentiometer signals are used in the ECU for a number of functions.
At the closed throttle position, idle speed and deceleration fuel cut-off are
controlled. In the part open throttle position (about 5–70% open), there is
normal operation with close control of fuel delivery and exhaust emissions. In
the wide open throttle position (70–100%), full load enrichment and starting of a
fl ooded engine are provided. During rapid movement of the throttle plate there
is acceleration enrichment, depending on the rate of change of the throttle plate
and signal voltages from the sensor. Key fact
