Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for a throttle response control system that controls the rate at which a throttle opens. The throttle response control system includes one or more sensors and an electronic control unit connected to the sensors, the one or more sensors being configured to detect an air temperature in an intake hose, an engine speed, and an air pressure in the intake manifold. The electronic control unit is configured receive data from the one or more sensors and to activate a rate limit logic when the air temperature in the intake hose and the engine speed are greater than a temperature threshold and an engine speed threshold, respectively, and the air pressure in the intake manifold is less than a pressure threshold, causing the throttle to slow the rate at which the throttle opens based on the air temperature in the intake hose.
