How Accelerator works in car

@Gurjap • 09 Feb, 2012 It's like this: the more fuel you spray into the engine, the more power it will develop. Meaning, of course, that it will go faster. So when you press/twist the accelerator, it causes the fuel supply to the engine to increase, causing....well, acceleration. Note that his is a very brief explanation, so I've left some things out.

@PraveenKumar Purushothaman • 09 Feb, 2012 • 2 likes For most cars, the accelerator pedal is connected to a throttle body which opens up depending on how much the pedal is pushed. The throttle allows air to enter the combustion chamber where a series of controlled explosions drive the pistons transferring power to the transmission and then to axles (overly simplified). Some cars have a throttle position sensor that will control fuel input based on the position of the throttle. Some have a mass air sensor that measures the amount of air entering and adjusts fuel to a preset ratio. Some newer cars do not connect the accelerator to the throttle directly (drive by wire). The ECU determines the throttle position based on the pedal position.

The accelerator is also known as gas pedal. It is the pedal located on the floor on the far-right. This pedal controls the amount of gas being fed into the engine and thereby controls the speed of the vehicle. You push the accelerator with your right foot with your heel resting on the ground. Do not be jerky with the accelerator. Rather, push it gradually while your car speeds up.
