Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0488016A2] In a device for controlling the power output of an internal combustion engine, a throttle valve is arranged in such a way in a throttle body that it can rotate beyond the fully closed position. A stop element is also provided and is in mechanical operative connection with the throttle valve. Finally, a stop is provided with which the stop element can be brought into contact in such a way that, beyond the fully closed position, beyond the normal open position, the throttle valve is in an emergency running position. These measures provide a device in which a purely electrical connection is provided between the accelerator pedal and the throttle valve and which makes possible in a simple and economical manner reliable emergency running of the internal combustion engine, even if there is a malfunction in the device according to the invention. <IMAGE>
