the Throttle body is basically a gateway that controls airflow and subsequent fuel flow into the engine. Think of it as a faucet...open it up and lots of air flows into the motor, causing revs to increase and power to build....close is and air flow is cut, decreasing revs and associated power. It is basically what your gas pedal is linked to that makes the engine respond to your inputs.
