ABSTRACT:
A throttle valve actuator is provided for connecting a throttle valve of a motor vehicle to the accelerator pedal in either a direct or remote drive mode. A coupling mechanism is provided for coupling and uncoupling a throttle valve to the accelerator pedal linkage and a specified relative orientation in response to a control signal. The coupling mechanism includes a drive element coupled to the accelerator pedal, a driven element coupled to the throttle valve and a control element cooperating with the drive and driven elements. A remotely operable stop is provided to fix the control element in a specified position directly coupling the accelerator pedal to the throttle valve when in the direct drive mode and releasing the control element, when in the remote drive mode. The remote drive mechanism automatically positions the throttle valve when the control element is free when in the remote drive mode.
