An extremely unpleasant situation when unforeseen breakdowns make it impossible to drive a car. In particular, a breakdown of the accelerator pedal can cause rather great difficulties. It is especially bad when this happens on the track.

The usage of accelerator pedal kit

The gas pedal (aka the MEAT & DORIA brand Accelerator Pedal Kit) is the mechanism by which the acceleration of the car is controlled. More precisely, by pressing the pedal, the driver controls the position of the throttle. In the old days, the pedal drive was purely mechanical. It is almost impossible to meet a mechanical pedal in modern realities. Today it has been replaced by an electronic counterpart.

A modern gas pedal has electronic components. The operation of the device is based on a rheostat, and the functioning of the pedal is possible thanks to special tracks along which a group of contacts passes. Duplication of contacts provides greater reliability. As the contacts move along the tracks, the load on the sensors changes. The latter, in turn, send data to the throttle body. This is the principle of operation of the accelerator pedal assembly
