Throttle acceleration (TH-ACCEL (Throttle system) Gasoline engine cars have a small time lag at both the forward side and brake side because a certain clearance is necessary at the linkage. Reducing this time lag at the transmitter side provides the same sharp response as electric motor cars. Carburetor A slight clearance is required at the linkage, but the throttle acceleration function acts to reduce the time lag caused by this clearance.
