English term or phrase: accelerator throttle (opening)
Context: Function of throttle position sensor in a car

I'm getting a little confused as to the usage of "accelerator" and "throttle". I found the spelling "accelerator/throttle" very often. However, the spelling
"accelerator throttle" (without a slash) can also be found. Is that simply a misspelling? Or is an "accelerator throttle" something else than a "Gaspedal"?

Ex.: "The engine idles when started and only engages when the accelerator throttle is opened"

Notes to answerer
Asker: Ja, ich weiß, aber in meinem Text ist immer von "accelerator throttle opening" die Rede. Kann ich hier einfach "accelerator" ignorieren und "Drosselklappenöffnung" nehmen? Ein Bsp: "...gear shifts are made according to the accelerator throttle opening". Was also schreiben?

agree  Wulf-Dieter Krüger: Drosselklappenöffnung des Vergasers. Was mich wundert, da heutzutage eingespritzt wird. Dennoch muß die Zuluft reguliert werden über eine Drosselklappe

agree  langnet: Oder ganz schlicht und einfach "Drosselklappe". Die Öffnung erfolgt halt anhand der Fahreranforderung über das Gaspedal. Nochwas zu Wulf-Dieter: DrosselklappenÖFFNUNG des VERGASERS? Wunder bei Benzineinspritzern? Ähm...
