2. Throttle position sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throttle_position_sensor

   A throttle position sensor (TPS) is a sensor used to monitor the throttle body valve position for the ECU of an engine. The sensor is usually located on the butterfly spindle/shaft, so that it can directly monitor the position of the throttle. More advanced forms of the sensor are also used. For example, an extra "closed throttle position ...

3. Electronic throttle control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_throttle_control

   A typical ETC system consists of three major components: (i) an accelerator pedal module (ideally with two or more independent sensors), (ii) a throttle valve that can be opened and closed by an electric motor (sometimes referred to as an electric or electronic throttle body (ETB)), and (iii) a powertrain or engine control module (PCM or ECM).

   Throttle body showing throttle position sensor. The throttle cable attaches to the curved, black portion on the left. The copper-coloured coil visible next to this returns the throttle to its idle (closed) position when the pedal is released. When the driver presses on the accelerator pedal, the throttle plate rotates within the throttle body ...

Excessive pressure in the crankcase can force mist of ...

6. Helicopter flight controls - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicopter_flight_controls

   Helicopter rotors are designed to operate at a specific rotational speed. The throttle controls the power of the engine, which is connected to the rotor by a transmission. The throttle setting must maintain enough engine power to keep the rotor speed within the limits where the rotor produces enough lift for flight.
