Default RE: electronic throttle


ORIGINAL: pilotpete2

I agree, the idea of having a servo integrated into our gas carbs sound like more trouble than it's worth.
As far as throttle by wire in cars goes, it's here to stay I think. Are any cars even being made today with mechanical throttle linkage?

Yes, its here to stay but that doesn't mean that I have to like it!! I'm sure the systems will improve over the years to come but with electric cars and hybrids becoming more common, I'm not sure the form of actuation will really matter.
