A throttle potentiometer is normally located on the throttle
body, at the opposite side to the throttle linkage, Its purpose in life
is to inform the ECU of the throttle position. Early potentiometers were
not potentiometers at all but simply switches that informed the ECU of
either idle or full throttle conditions.
As ECU's became more sophisticated it was found that there
was a need for a more accurate method of measuring the interim throttle
position, hence the potentiometer.
The potentiometer type sensor is also used to measure the
rate of change of throttle position, this gives an indication of how fast
the driver wants to accelerate or decelerate.
