2) Speed limiting device.
I need some assistance cos doing a project on these 2 things. Cant really find much from the net.
Thanks.
try howstuffworks.com
accelerator pedal pulls a throttle cable from ur engine bay which controls a few things.. i believe ur valves and the fuel regulator..
there are 2 types.. the older ones use throttle cable.. new cars come with e-throttle..
speed limiting device is in ur ECU.. once u reach the certain speed limit, ur ECU will cut the power of the car..
these are just basic information.. for more, go to the above site or wikipedia.
