Abstract
A throttle control device for a motor vehicle having a first movable member with first and second ends. A second movable member is connected to and surrounds the first movable member except for the first and second ends. During normal operation of the motor vehicle, when the accelerator pedal which is linked to the first end of the first movable member is engaged, results in the opening of the throttle valve. If the motor vehicle slips during accelerating or while engaged in a constant-speed cruise control mode, a driving motor rotates the second movable member which results in the closing of the throttle valve.
