What makes a good throttle response in a car?
Good emissions come from keeping the fuel supply to a minimum. Hence the increasing complexity: ride-by-wire throttles, catalytic converter protection loops, and dozens of fuel maps which alter ignition and fuelling depending on gears, temperature and more. 7. Power Commander
What causes a car to lose power on a hill?
If the fuel pump is on its way out, it may work intermittently or not at all. A symptom of starving the car for fuel is a car that runs correctly at idle and low load, but falls flat on its face as you ask for more power (when climbing a hill, for instance). Fuel pumps may fail due to age, sediment buildup, or running the incorrect fuel.
How is the throttle connected to the accelerator?
In the old days, there used to be a cable that was connected from the throttle to the accelerator. But now in the technological age, the car’s computer controls when the throttle opens and closes by the feedback it gets about the acceleration of the vehicle.
Can a poor throttle response be a bummer?
Poor throttle response can be a bummer for most drivers, particularly those who relish in high-performance vehicles. Luxury imports like Porsche, Mercedes, Audi, and BMW should be driven with vigor; there is no place for throttle issues.

What’s the throttle response on a 2009 Harley?
2009 Harley Ultra Classic w/25K no past problems in the past, but on 07-12-14. I had a problem with what I found out and is called “Limp Mode”! no throttle response at all other than running at idle.
What happens to your car when you go up a hill?
When you are driving a car, your engine and all the other components must work extra hard if you’re moving up an incline or a hill. You need to have enough power to be able to accelerate a vehicle anywhere, especially up a hill where gravity is pulling against it.
