Over the past 20 years, throttle-by-wire has become the standard technology on all gasoline engines. When the driver smashed the throttle to the floor, the air flowing through the venturis would cause more fuel to be sucked into the engine. Throttle-by-wire systems proactively manage the air and fuel going into the combustion chamber.
