throttle

A throttle is a mechanism by which fluid flow is managed by constriction or obstruction.
An engine's power can be increased or decreased by the restriction of inlet gases (by the use of a throttle), but usually decreased. The term throttle has come to refer, informally, to any mechanism by which the power or speed of an engine is regulated, such as a car's accelerator pedal. What is often termed a throttle (in an aviation context) is also called a thrust lever, particularly for jet engine powered aircraft. For a steam locomotive, the valve which controls the steam is known as the regulator.

    Knocking/grinding noise on very gentle acceleration or feathering the throttle

    New issue - a rather disconcerting knocking/grinding from the front (possibly passenger) side when applying the lightest of acceleration. Disappears when you increase acceleration or decelerate. Got my first MOT in a few weeks, so has anyone else had this?

    Throttle flat spot

    I've noticed lately my car has developed an occasional flat spot when coasting and reaplying the throttle, it makes the car jerk slightly around the 3% mark, it doesn't matter which regen or mode its in. Any help or ideas would be great taa

  5. Something positive for a change

    I've never seen this before, but when you come off the throttle, the brake lights activate. I've never seen this before.
