A friend of mine was telling me using less than full throttle can give better acceleration, because using full throttle can mean that there's too much fuel in the engine and so not the best air to fuel ratio and so produces less power. I was wondering if anyone knew if this was true or not? (assuming that there's no wheel spin).
I was under the impression that the throttle only controlled the valve letting the air into the engine, and then depending on the RPM of the engine, the ecu then decided how much fuel to add in, and the lambda sensor gives some feedback to let the ecu know if it's added too much or not.
I drive a 1.6 Astra with a whopping 98bhp, so it's not going to make much difference to me anyway, but my google-fu is weak and I can't find an answer on the internet
